Coming out of the stress of the pandemic, students, families, out-of-school-time providers, and teachers are facing a number of social-emotional challenges. It is critical for students that providers help them identify emotions, acknowledge when those emotions are difficult or uncomfortable, and provide tools to help them process those emotions in a culturally-responsive way.
Join Thrive and Meghan McDoniel, Postdoctoral Fellow with the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University, for a presentation on some of the preliminary work from an ongoing study evaluating a social-emotional curriculum. We will also discuss the most pressing needs for students this year, and relate the early findings back to what all adults can do to support students’ social-emotional needs. There will be space to share about your own social-emotional learning programs, and hear from peers.
