The SEL tool helps me see how my kids are feeling. It also allows me to engage with them more personally. This tool seems fun and makes things more dynamic. I love that these tools can be used not only with students but also with colleagues during meetings. These tools are very flexible and can be used with any type of lecture or subject.

The SEL Toolkit offers a variety of activities that can be used to help gauge your students' readiness to learn and can help you be responsive to individual student needs.

The SEL Toolkit provides a great range of quick activities to check in with the class a reinforce positive behaviours and values.

I love working with the CASEL frameworks with my adult learners. This is a great example of how to do some quick check-ins with learners using tech tools - gives me a chance to be responsive to their needs and can also help foster community.

Utilizing the SEL tools in my classroom will help gauge my students readiness for a lesson. It will also help me take into account my students confidence in various areas we are discussing. If I have a student that shows they are still confused on a topic then I can plan to pull them for a small group during the assignment. It also builds community within the classroom.

I think there are numerous ways to use the SEL tool kit. Whether whole group or individual handout, students can show how they are doing through text, images, or emoticons. It is a great way to get a pulse of your room quickly allowing you to make adjustments to your lessons. In addition, teachers can use it as a formative feedack tool to see how a lesson is progressing through a quick thumbs up thumbs down.

I really liked the Daily Good News check-in or turning it into a weekly good news check in for our block pacing. This would allow students to brag about amazing things that they are doing in their lives. It will help me make lessons more engaging based on student interests. I also really liked the focus on core values and the grounding techniques. I like to give students the chance to self reflect on qualities that are important to them.

I use daily warm ups for SEL check ins anyways, so these resources would be a great and easy way to incorporate those into what I already do. It gives me a great idea of where my students are when they walk into my room so that I can meet them where they are.

Daily Good News would be a brilliant way to become involved and celebrate experiences outside of the classroom. It would allow learners to share something good that has happened with their peers but not only that, it could also be shared to the wider community. Love that it is visual also.

SEL warm-ups help center classrooms. They brings us back to what really matters - students feeling safe. I like the idea of using SEL check-ins before lessons as a no-pressure way to get students engaged or to see which students might need extra care during the lesson.

SEL is fundamental in a educational success. A quick check in on how the students feel prior to and after a lesson can speak volumes. Maybe a student is feeling anxious because the content of the lesson may be intimidating.

These toolkits would also be beneficial with professional colleagues during professional development.

I really enjoy using the check-in ready made SEL activities with the emotions or icons at the start/middle/end of a professional development session to quickly gauge how staff are feeling. This helps me get a sense or where they're mind is at and in some cases, knowing how far I can "push" during the learning session! I have also like using the rank order activity during sessions to have staff order what may be most important for them to learn during the session or what they believe a good PD will provide from those leading it. Asking them what qualities a presenter should have is a good way for me to check in with what I'm bringing to the table as a learning facilitator for staff!

After looking at the toolkit, I thought of creating an emoji poll in lumio. Students could drag and drop in an emoji the best refelects how they are feeling today. I work in a district where Maslow's heitchy of needs is a real barrior to learning. The information can help me discern if that student needs space, a pat on the back, a do you want to talk note, etc... It can also be used to celebrate the students and the activities that are making them happy.

I am a teacher at the Alternative Learning Program (ALP) in Malta. This school was set up as an educational measure to help students who, by age 14, have lost all interest in ‘traditional’ schooling. The programme offers a variety of vocational experiences hoping to re-engage students who were otherwise disillusioned with the traditional classroom.

Amongst other activities, the SEL toolkit facilitates my efforts in helping students think about their thoughts and feelings. As an educator, I feel that such a holistic approach is of paramount importance in the personal development of our youths.

As a classroom teacher, I like the idea of being able to use the SEL toolkit in two specific ways.

The SEL Toolkit provides a huge array of customisable templates for every aspect of social and emotional development. Our school uses 'The Resilience Project' which has students focus on Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness. Many of the templates in the SEL toolkits can be modified to include the GEM language.

My students are adults. As we grow older, I find we neglect ourselves because we are taking care of others or focused on adult life. The SEL toolkit will allow me to teach the teachers how to use these tools in their lives, enabling them to instruct their young students in the areas easily.

That will be great for students in behavorial situations and can also be used for a reading activity when we are learning about a character.

The SEL tool kit is a wonderful resource for students but also for adult learners as well!

Using and SEL activity (whether that be for staff or students -I do a lot of staff training) helps individuals become more aware of their state as well as the state of others, and that it is OK to not always be on point. It is how we, as individuals and as a group, deal with the those various levels that becomes the point of development and focus. It also brings the focus on the state, rather than the individual, the former being changeable and not personal while the latter can become quite personal in terms of the way it is perceived.
