With Wings for Kids
You know teaching kids life skills is important. You also know that developing social emotional skills is a life-long process. Wings for Kids offers a professional learning library of short, easy-to-use, and engaging e-learning courses to inspire and provide practical information about enhancing skills as an adult and modeling those skills for children.
Adult Skills
The Let Your Wings Out series covers social emotional skills through the lens of Words to Live By giving you insights into how to grow your own skills in turn helping you model the skills for children.
Each 10-20 minutes course covers a specific skill with loads of examples and interactivity to help learn and apply the skill.
Fundamentals
A series of four 15-minute modules on the basics of the Wings for Kids approach to SEL. You’ll learn:
- How to establish a common language and how it helps create an environment where SEL can thrive.
- How to create a supportive environment that fosters social connections and provides engaging opportunities to learn and play.
- What it takes to build SEL skills in children – what we call focused skill building.
- Three important SEL teaching practices that include modeling, teachable moments, and behavior management.
Behavior Management
A catalog of modules that include positive strategies to minimize the potential for behavior issues and corrective techniques that help you modify student behavior when proactive techniques are not enough. Using these positive behavior management techniques and the corrective techniques as needed will help you build a supportive, empowering, and respectful environment AND will help your students build their social emotional skills at the same time.
