Presentation title:
"Social-Emotional Learning and Character Development:
The Foundations of Safe and Successful Schools "
For educators and parents who follow the science of learning and development, it is now beyond dispute that the presence of social-emotional and character development (SEL) in our schools is a matter of “how,” not “if.” This presentation will review the connection of SEL and executive function and their connection to resilience and equity. Examples will be provided of how to embed SEL into various aspects of the school day, such as language arts (emotion vocabulary) visual and performing arts (empathy and problem solving), and social studies/civics education (respectful listening, perspective taking, communication).

McGovern Medal from the American School Health Association, and the Sanford McDonnell Award for Lifetime Achievement in Character Education.
