6/03/2025 - SEL Integration with Krista Leh

IN-PERSON SESSION: June 3, 2025, from 8am-3pm

Location: ICC - Peoria Campus, Student Center 5407 N University St Peoria, IL 61614

School years are a crucial time in a student's life that shapes their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Educators must prioritize providing students ample opportunities to actively develop social emotional learning (SEL) skills that promote long-term well-being. Unfortunately, many teachers find themselves under pressure to focus on content acquisition and may feel ill-equipped to integrate SEL explicitly into their teaching practices. This session will provide participants with practical solutions to weave SEL into the culture of K-12 classrooms. Attendees will participate in strategies showcasing how to include SEL in the physical environment, incorporate SEL into social interactions, infuse SEL into instructional practices, and integrate SEL into curricula. Additionally, strong emphasis will be placed on the importance of including students as co-creators and co-facilitators, making the learning experience more engaging and effective.
