I have done some teaching through the website emotional abc’s.]]> 2021-12-03 00:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926293665 https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926294570 To me social emotional learning is learning how to behave appropriately depending on the situation. 
As a teacher it is learning what a student needs to understand to be more successful. 
A perfect example of this is asking for help. Many students will be too shy to ask, others will start being disruptive to others when they don't know how to work through a problem. As a teacher, I try to provide resources and help students learn how to refer back to these and be more independent.

In essence, I feel like SEL gives students the power to name and tame their feelings to help them overcome their challenges and struggles. Growth mind set is the idea that we can always still keep learning and that we can always achieve more. I usually use stories that include easily relatable experiences for students to connect to their background. Often this lets students build common ground for group work so that students can learn to work through things with their peers.]]> 2021-12-03 00:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926294578 Growth mindset allows students to understand what they are doing and know they are in control. It gets them away from the "I just can't " fixed mindset. Learning self-regulation such as deep breathing or taking a break resets their minds and again gives them control over their emotions. https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926294581 2021-12-03 00:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926294581 https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926294789 1. To me, SEL means helping students learn how to cope with their emotions day by day. 2. What I know about self regulation and growth mindset are the stop and pause moments (I think) and the power of YET. 3. I have tried to practice SEL during my student teaching, during distance learning last year through google form check ins and this year by having SEL writing prompts and SEL assignments whenever possible. They truly need to understand more positive self talk and how to push through and overcome obstacles and learn rigor. ]]> 2021-12-03 00:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926294789 SEL means to me being able to understand my emotions and how to navigate through my emotions in various environments. Self -regulation to me and growth mind set is being able to apply what I identify and am aware of.

In my classroom we show by example and let the students express themselves. We do practice SEL in the classroom daily. https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926295083 2021-12-03 00:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926295083 Social-emotional learning to me is giving students the tools to better handle their emotions and express themselves in a positive way. I already know that a growth mindset helps students focus on the positive. I have had experience working with the Positivity Project and doing a different topic each week that promotes positivity and traits to strive for. https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926295348 2021-12-03 00:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926295348 KM https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926295509 1. Social-emotional learning to me is students' self-efficacy/believing in their abilities to succeed. Self-fulfilling prophecy. 
2. Self-regulatory skills & growth mindset are developed over time. We contribute to a child's internal voice. 
3. SEL can be so hard to implement. I've done some research/read articles/books. It's hard to watch kids struggle rather than catering to them (both students and kids at home).]]> 2021-12-03 00:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926295509 Social Emotional Learning is a key element to building effective rapport with students. Understanding the emotions of students can help educators differentiate there approach to learning and classroom management. https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926296387 - Christopher Anfoso

Helps learn the skills and empathize with others. This helps them grow socially and academically. ]]> 2021-12-03 00:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926296964 https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926296989 To me, SEL means learning how to be aware of your emotions and feelings, so that you can make decisions more mindfully, instead of letting those emotions control your decisions. It's also about developing social skills and empathy for others. I have previously taught some SEL lessons (but have a lot to learn!) and through that I know some self-regulation tips. I'm also fairly familiar with the concept of growth mindset and have taught units on it with my students before. ]]> 2021-12-03 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926296989 Questions asantos133 https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926300774 Social emotional Learning is a tool that teachers us to help students succed and overcome lives stresses.

Self Regulation and a growth mindset works hand and hand with our students as they can help grow as individuals. 

It has been hard but trying to find uses to add along a lesson can help our students. ]]> 2021-12-03 00:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/eoynwle3gkzt4tzx/wish/1926300774
