SEL DAY 2023 SUMMIT: State Highlight

Self Care: The Heart of Social and Emotional Learning in Pennsylvania

All good things start with the individual. Therefore, the best way to take care of the people around us is to make sure we first take care of ourselves. This is the starting point for any social and emotional learning (SEL) initiative. Self-care is the heart of SEL. Educators in K-12 and Higher Education settings are invited to join this SEL Day session led by Dr. Kevin Briggs from the Center for the Promotion of Social and Emotional Learning. Content includes SEL starting points related to self-care, anatomical support for the necessity of self-care, and creating a self-care action plan. An additional resource is an article Dr. Briggs recently published in the Center for Responsive Schools’ Journal of Social and Emotional Learning.
