Discussion by SMART Global Professional Learning

Using a SEL activity gives the teacher insight into where their students are emotionally going into a lesson. It is a great way to know which students you need to check in on throughout that day. It also helps the teacher drive her lesson- maybe before diving into the next lesson the teacher needs to share a short video or read a book aloud to address what students are feeling.

Using a SEL activity will help set the tone for the class by showing the students that their well-being and classmates well-being are important. You might use a SEL activity to show what the students can control and how it can affect their behavior and help or hinder in achieving goals.

Social-Emotional Learning: Always Relevant

2022-02-21 19:39:39 UTC

SEL activities have so many purposes, one of which is to "recalibrate" the class culture. Working on an activity with something like relationship building helps to reinforce treating others with kindness and being a good classmate. Doing these kinds of activities has helped me in the past with establishing collaboration between students. Since most of them know each other after all of the work we've done, I can put people together with a few less complaints and awkwardness.

SEL

tebrown1 — 2022-03-01 15:52:25 UTC

SEL activities allow teachers to check in and connect with students. It can reveal areas where students are struggling in non-academic ways that can impact their academics. It allows teachers and students to connect with one another and can allow students to connect with classmates. These connections boost the community feel in a classroom which further increases student ownership of their learning.

SEL-

2022-03-01 18:01:35 UTC

The SEL activities provide a framework for teachers to use to help students grow and reinforce their social emotional skills. What I like about the ones provided is that is allows for student engagement through handouts and games. This allows the students to interact with the lesson not just receive it.

The SEL activities provide inspirational ideas and templates to tackle essential life long skills. These activities could be especially helpful for Personal Wellness and Personal Development outcomes. I can also see myself using them to help address sensitive or inappropriate behaviors in a structured but unthreatening way.

SEL activities allow for educators to grow/nurture teacher relationships to create a healthy learning environment. These activities provide students a voice in the classroom that shapes the classroom culture.

molly_larson — 2022-03-07 15:26:51 UTC

Teachers can build and foster a safe and positive relationship, and classroom community, with individual feelings check-in prior to lessons. In addition, they can capture students' comprehension and connections with the 3-2-1 strategy. The toolkit provides an opportunity to learn about students' stories.

SEL - Andy Fekete

2022-03-07 15:27:00 UTC

SEL activities allow teachers to check in with their students in a way that is meaningful and allows them to understand students mindsets in being prepared for learning that day or during that lesson. SEL activities also work to build a safe and positive learning enviornment for students and classrooms where all students can feel safe, accepted and engaged in learning and growing as learners. I like this particular toolkit becuase it looks to align nicely with the CASEL framework which we use in district and our convesrations with teachers and students.

Check ins allow teachers to touch base on a personal level to support the student by validating feelings, make positive interventions, and set the student up for a successful learning day.

2022-03-07 16:41:38 UTC

2022-03-07 17:06:50 UTC

I like the Relationship-Building Activities portion of the SEL Toolkit for my present-day learners. Every time we are disrupted by pandemic issues, I find that we are constantly starting back at 'Square One' with re-establishing a class culture. Young learners are constantly withdrawing back into the safety nets of their own personal technology devices and basic communication and interpersonal expression are taking a back seat. Having options like these for lessons would help re-establish these foundations of humanity!

SEL and Community Building

2022-03-07 20:28:37 UTC

SEL activities help shape the classroom environment. Students who feel as if they have a safe space to share how they are feeling, and recieve the support that will help them in their specific time of need. SEL activities sets the classroom culture to be validating, supportive, and positive. This sets the tone for a classroom where students can be vulnerable, and where they can grow and achieve their goals!

SEL to get the day started

2022-03-08 01:25:32 UTC

We start each day with a class meeting. Typically, there is a message on a chart for students to respond to. I can see using some of the SEL activities in place of the charts to engage students as they get focused for the day.

SEL Connection

2022-03-08 12:55:51 UTC

By including moment for SEL throughout the day and within curricula, students are more likely to embed the skills like self-management, decision making and relationship building into their habits more naturally. However, I think it's important that these skills are also taught explicitly so students are aware of what they are learning and can speak to their own SEL journey confidently.

Relationship Building

cathy_scolpini1 — 2022-03-08 14:31:25 UTC

School must be a place where students feel safe, supported, and valued for who they are. It also, in so many cases, provides most, if not all, of the stability in a child's life. The SEL activities are all excellent ways to develop these individual and group skills! It is important to first help students understand themselves and then to help them see where they fit into the dynamics of the classroom and daily life, and the relationship building activities are wonderful for building that sense of community and support that every classroom must provide.

2022-03-08 14:36:11 UTC

When in states of fear, anxiety, or stress, learning is inhibited in the brain.

2022-03-08 14:36:55 UTC

Checking in with students is a huge part of my daily routine. This gives us another way to do that, while allowing them to remain anonymous if they're not comfortable sharing with their classmates.

Check in

2022-03-08 14:42:11 UTC

SEL activities are a great way to check in and also a good grounding activity for students.

SEL in the classroom

2022-03-08 14:49:10 UTC

If students don't feel safe and respected in their classroom they will not challenge themselves to learn. We must be mindful to include and appreciate all student differences and experiences in our teaching.

SEL in the Classroom

2022-03-08 14:54:23 UTC

I always get students to do a thumbs up thumbs down, and thumbs to the side to show understanding. This is a perfect way to ask so that students aren't embarrassed to share their answers (or when we are learning from home)

SEL activities can help inform my lesson for the day and shape where I go with the learning. The anonymous feature adds an element of safety for the students that I like.

SEL Activities

2022-03-08 14:55:16 UTC

SEL activities would allow me to check in on my students quickly to see how they are doing in the course.

How check ins inform my delivery

2022-03-08 15:01:03 UTC

SEL is such an important part of teaching! You need to have strong relationships with students. Before I start my day, I always check in with students to see how they're doing. This helps inform my teaching for the day- what can/can't students handle right now, who needs a little extra support/check in, and who is ready to learn. I love some of these pre-made templates to try to mix-up my typical morning meeting structure!

Starting with SEL is best

2022-03-08 15:03:01 UTC

Starting a lesson with SEL is a great way to make sure that students are in the right mindset for learning. We are all human and come to class with a lot on our plates sometimes, or a lot on our minds. It is nice to break that thinking and get everyone in a calm, open state ready for learning. :)

2022-03-08 15:06:57 UTC

SEL activities will fit beautifully into the Personal Wellness curriculum that we intentionally embed into our daily practice; this not only allows for a human-to-human check in with students, but also for authentic teaching opportunities.

Morning Circle

2022-03-08 15:17:54 UTC

SEL activities can be used during Morning Circle as a way to set the tone for the day. It gives children a way to connect with their teachers and classmates before settling into academics.

Using SEL activities helps us check in our how our students are feeling, show examples, or allow students to connect with one another

2022-03-08 18:05:28 UTC

SEL is a huge focus for this year. Students have been through a lot and it is more important than ever to check in frequently.

crystalpye — 2022-03-08 23:03:52 UTC

SEL check in would allow me to quickly see how everyone is feeling about the pace or the lessons we are doing and can help me decide where to go from there.

2022-03-12 16:31:41 UTC

The SEL activities allow teachers to create opportunities for students to address issues that aren't necessarily content, but could have an impact of student learning. For instance, how to deal with stress or shifting to a growth mindset. SEL activities and check-ins can help connect the teacher and students to form a positive classroom culture and community.

SEL Tool Kit

EdtechMenge — 2022-03-14 19:26:38 UTC

I love the tool kit! It is a great way to check in on students (middle school) throughout lessons and the day. It makes a safe place for students to reach out.

SEL Toolkit idea

2022-03-16 02:35:34 UTC

SEL Toolkit is a great resource to help teacher get the conversations started with their students. As a teacher trainer, sharing these tools and exploring them with my staff would be a positive.

SEL Toolkit

2022-03-16 12:22:58 UTC

When I was in the classroom, I held a morning meeting every day. Every student had the opportunity to speak if they wanted to. They shared an Accomplishment, Achievement, or Adventure. This gave them the opportunity to talk about their family, sports, school, anything they wanted. Now I am supporting teachers in their classrooms, and I see this morning time is taken away from them because they are required to do literacy centers right after morning announcements. Using one of the ready-made activities or tweaking one as they see fit first thing in the morning allows teachers to determine how their students are starting the day. She can go meet with students and check in on them. SEL is so important. I think if students know you care about them, they are more receptive to learning.
~M. Alicea

Engaging Conversations for SEL

2022-03-18 16:27:14 UTC

In addition to being able to tweak a lesson to fit your needs, I think using Lumio to deliver SEL to your students can be powerful because so many aspects of Lumio from hiding names in a Shout It Out, or using an individual handout to help students keep answers between you and them, help provide students with a voice in a setting that may be more empowering or safe for them to use.

SEL ToolKit

2022-03-18 18:13:09 UTC

Starting the day with an SEL activity can allow for the teacher to begin identifying the needs of her students on a daily basis. This may help the teacher tailor their lesson on the fly or consider how much information a student may be able to handle before becoming cognitively overloaded. Kids can't learn unless their basic needs are met and they feel safe in an environment. Maslow before Bloom!

SEL

2022-03-21 17:51:49 UTC

Checking in each morning with students using one of these activities can help teachers gauge the mindset of the class for the day. This can help the teacher in assessing what adjustments may need to be made to the day's plans. When made part of the daily routine, it also helps establish the mindset for the student that the teacher truly cares about what is going on with their lives. When students feel like they are valued by the adults in their lives, they will work harder for them.

SEL Toolkit

2022-03-23 15:36:23 UTC

Having regular check ins with kids will help build community and allow kids better opportunities to self regulate. As a trainer, I'd like to share these pre-made tools with others.

Positive Reactions

2022-03-25 18:26:15 UTC

This activity would not only be beneficial with students, but with faculty. We are all in need of some SEL. I like how this matching activity identifies a challenge and then shows a way to tease out a positive.

Build a good rapport within the classroom

2022-03-29 14:39:16 UTC

The relationships among the learners and between the learners and the teacher is influential to the learning result. It also defines the approach to teaching and learning. SEL toolkit is useful to build the trust in the classroom before starting the first lesson. It would help with the engagement and any necessary differentiation strategy.

SEL Toolkit

2022-03-29 15:00:55 UTC

This could be a wonderful tool for those "homeroom" times to provide a guided SEL lesson. Typically our HR teachers want something they do not have to create so this could be a great way to ensure all students receive similar lessons.

Let your students know you care about them

2022-03-30 13:35:19 UTC

By using the SEL toolkit you can let students know you care about them more than just their academic success. This helps you build a community in the Classroom as well as stregnthens your relationship with each individual student.

2022-03-30 15:07:31 UTC

I love the fact that many educational companies are now including SEL in their programs. Starting the day/class/lesson off with a student check-in is important to understand how the students are feeling with indication of how their performance might be affected.

Self-Managment

2022-03-30 16:04:53 UTC

Currently we have students that are having some self control issues. I can see using the Self-Control sort with all of the students to help them with thinking through their actions when they are upset. The other two listed with it would work well with the older students as well. Hard to choose just one.

Sin emoción no hay aprendizaje, el conocimiento de las emociones y de cómo se sienten nuestros alumnos y alumnas de forma diaria es primordial para enfocar el aprendizaje. Mediante SEL activities podemos conocer como se sienten nuestros niños, ayudarles dándoles diferentes herramientas de como controlar sus emociones.

SEL

2022-04-04 12:27:21 UTC

I think the SEL tool kit is a wonderful and quick way to get a pulse on your classroom. It allows your students to feel comfortable sharing their emotions. It also provides a safe space for them to be able to be vulnerable with you and their peers. Teaching children to empathize and be cognizant of how others feels around them is a tool they will need throughout their lives.

2022-04-05 19:49:19 UTC

I think this would be a good way to check in with students each morning. For younger students it can be a picture they move or select how they are feeling.

Dawn R

2022-04-07 16:55:26 UTC

I love the SEL check-ins. I see it as a way to feel out or recognize where students are on any given day/with any given topic. It will work to inform your teaching, help you cater or adapt your questioning, discussions and grouping of students. A simple tool that goes a long way.

Tamara B.

2022-04-07 19:05:38 UTC

You can use SEL for morning checking with students to allow them to express themselves and give them positive feedback throughout the day. It also allows you any opportunity to build your small group based on the needs of the students.

SEL Toolkit

thomassp — 2022-04-19 18:24:54 UTC

I could use the toolkit to help foster students' thinking about their moods, emotions and actions, and to facilitate their ability to process and express them appropriately.

Reminders

2022-04-22 13:38:51 UTC

I get to greet the students as they arrive at school everyday, I have tarmac duty for entry, so I know how their day started or hoe they are feeling. Using the Positive Reactions activity would help reinforce strategies that we have worked on in the past to deal with situations that create an overload for themselves or how to help a classmate.

Promote Self-Awareness & Self-Management

2022-04-22 16:45:59 UTC

Being about to recognize our stressors and dealing with them in a productive and safe manner is so important. I feel like I can use the toolkit to promote self-awareness and self-management to better address many of the behavior issues present in today's classrooms.

I think this will provide the students a great way to have student voice in a respectful, responsible manner. I'm super excited!

I can use SEL Toolkit to start my lesson by asking the students of how they feel today.Ranking the values accoring to their interest is a nice idea.

SEL in the Classroom

2022-04-25 00:10:12 UTC

Any of these resources would be a great way to start a lesson. Any child in the classroom can be successful going through the activity and the teacher gets an immediate heads up if something is going on with the child. It also can be a fun way to review basic procedures for partner work during Lumio.

SEL

2022-04-25 01:27:30 UTC

The importance of knowing how are students are starting their day is critical. Being open with them and sharing how your day is going is also a part of creating an honest community.

2022-04-25 12:59:13 UTC

The lessons in the SEL took kit are east and a quick way to engage students first hing in the day!

The SELs are a great way to start any lesson with students to practice team building, gauge their feelings about a particular lesson, or during morning meeting before starting a discussion. I can also use it during Professional Developments as an ice breaker.

Lexi Llamas

2022-04-25 17:58:02 UTC

SEL lessons are a great way to gage your class. It helps you acknowledge your students feelings and show them you have respect and truly care for them. With this in mind students attention is direct to you and are not distracted.

SEL+Handout

2022-04-25 18:31:53 UTC

This could be a fun picture to drop on a Handout or Whole Class whiteboard at the beginning of a Lumio lesson. T can either check on individuals or see how the class is as a whole and build in more brain breaks or individual time in order to check in privately with students as needed.

Toolkit

2022-04-25 19:13:05 UTC

I love the idea of a self-portrait collage. Not only will it help teachers and staff get to know their students at the beginning of the year, but they could also do one at the beginning and end of the year and compare how each student grew over the course of the year. It's amazing to see student growth and how they view themselves even over the course of 10 months.

SEL in the classroom

2022-04-27 16:00:43 UTC

I LOVE the idea of daily wellness check-ins. Something like this can be done quickly and easily in the morning during breakfast or bell work, where the teacher can get an idea of how ready the students are to learn for the day!

Think Through It

2022-04-28 18:47:29 UTC

I love the Think Through It activity for decision making. Great way to get students of all ages to think through their decision making process and the impact their decisions have on others!

SEL Resource & Activity Reflection

2022-04-29 15:15:54 UTC

Many of the teachers that I work with share that one of the biggest challenges they face is teaching students to self-manage when they are having different feelings of frustration, lack of endurance to complete work, sadness, anger, etc. I was REALLY excited to see Lumio activities that have ideas in how to get kids thinking about different ways to self-manage or regulate when they are "feeling all the feels!"

Helpful/Hurtful

2022-04-29 18:27:52 UTC

I really like to use pictures/iconography with students of all ages. This activity is a great example of that. It meets learners at all levels and a lot of times it can help bridge the language gaps as well. This is a great example of being able to discuss a topic and not really having to use words! Interesting!

SEL

2022-04-30 02:50:35 UTC

Helping younger students think about how they are feeling, and expressing this through a drawing or selecting an icon will foster their own personal awareness and that of others around them. It is important for younger students to start thinking about how their actions and words effect their peers.

beatrizhinojal — 2022-04-30 08:44:56 UTC

Según Izard et al. (2001) “el nivel de vocabulario emocional de los niños en edad pre-escolar es un indicador de éxito académico y competencia social en los cuatro años siguientes”. Proporcionar a nuestros alumnos el vocabulario que pone nombre y ayuda a identificar la emoción que les embarga es esencial. Ofrecer el tiempo y el espacio para reflexionar sobre nuestras emociones también.

SEL TOOL KIT

2022-04-30 19:36:14 UTC

I think the SEL activities will allow younger students have a better understanding of their emotions so that they are able to self-regulate in different social settings. It will teach them to recognise their emotions and the emotions of their peers and accept that its ok to feel that way as well as develop coping strategies for those more challenging behaviours.

SEL Toolkit

2022-05-03 00:35:04 UTC

As a high school teacher, I believe we tend to ignore the social emotional aspect of learning. We focus on content and believe the students are old enough to manage their own learning. What I have found is getting to know my students and being sympathetic to their feelings and anxieties can help build a positive environment for learning and collaborating.

A feelings check-in would be of great help for students. Being able to gauge their emotions prior to starting a lesson can help to set them up for success. You can avoid unwanted behavior and use it as a tool to reflect as a class on ways to manage their feelings.

2022-05-04 12:50:58 UTC

SEL Toolkit

2022-05-04 17:59:02 UTC

A check-in can be extremely helpful before and after stressful situations, for example, before writing an assessment or after having a tough discussion with big feelings. This can help guide the teacher and students with what's needed next.

SEL Toolkit

tillmanford5 — 2022-05-05 16:42:07 UTC

I love the idea of using the Feelings Check In with students or with teachers before professional learning session. It gives me a chance to connect with students and teachers and to show them I care about their well-being.

SEL - Toolkit

2022-05-05 18:55:48 UTC

When viewing all of the activities in the SEL Toolkit I saw several that I thought teachers could use, but the one that immediately got to me was the Self-Awareness Core Values ranking activity.
I could see a 4th Grade Social Studies Teacher thinking about teaching on the Battle of the Alamo. Before teaching that topic, the teacher could have students start the lesson by completing the Core Value ranking and then take a few minutes to have students share why they ranked their choices in that order. Then discuss that things like perseverance, leadership, and service are things that people had to have long ago as well during the battle. This could help students to be aware not only of their own thoughts, ideas, feelings, but also visualize and understand what it was like for Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and others to be a part of such a big event that changed the history of Texas.
Furthermore, I could also use this Core-Value ranking in starting a training with teachers. Then have them share with one another the reasons they ranked their choices and to think about taking that value into teaching a specific topic in math that might be difficult - how to have perseverance because it will be worth it in the end and also it models this value to the students. So many good resources from the SEL Toolkit!

Lumio and SEL

lbrown445 — 2022-05-05 19:14:31 UTC

The Lumio SEL library is chock full of amazing resources! I love the SEL Check Ins. That would be a great way to start your day. This enables you to check in with everyone and lets even the shyest student to have a voice.

2022-05-08 03:12:08 UTC

I think it is so important to not dive right into instruction with our students, but instead create a space for them to share. It helps us and the students build relationships, trust, and understanding for one another. I think we will get much further with our instruction when we create space for our students to share and engage.

SEL: Personal and Community

dr_ewatson — 2022-05-10 16:59:12 UTC

I really appreciate the inclusion and focus on SEL on Lumio. These are a great way to "break up" learning, refocus students, and even just introduce classes. I found these types of check-ins especially helpful when teaching online!

Lumio SEL toolkit

jdingman — 2022-05-10 17:18:46 UTC

This toolkit is exceptional. I love how it is broken down into the 5 casel compentencies so you can really target each skill. I can see myself using one of these ready-made lessons during one of our extended homeroom advisories or right before an activity in class that is going to really need one specific SEL goal, such as self-mangement.

2022-05-10 18:22:37 UTC

The SEL Toolkit is a great place to get some inspiration when creating lessons in Lumio to encourage teachers to include an SEL slide to check in with students prior to their lesson and build social skills that will help them in their upcoming learning task.

SEL and Professional Learning - Rachelle Wooten

2022-05-11 15:13:07 UTC

I can see using SEL activities with teachers at the beginning of a new professional learning course/series as a way to help them build relationships with others in the group and to establish a community of learners. I liked the idea of ranking the qualities of a "team member". Participants can rank individually and then discuss with others at their table.

Emotional Literacy ToolKit

jtimken — 2022-05-11 17:51:12 UTC

Great collection of inspiration! It is important for us to do "pulse checks" as we teach to make sure that our students aren't overwhelmed/overburdened with things that might become obstacles to their learning!

Lumio and SEL Toolkit

MrsGonzalez — 2022-05-16 15:09:14 UTC

This Toolkit truly is a game changer. Lessons can always have the SEL components in an easy way. For example, as I am building my lesson, I realized that there is an activity where students are asked to read and collaborate with a friend. The toolkit has resources about friendship. Connections can be made between content and SEL with just a couple of clicks.

SEL Toolkit

2022-05-16 18:38:04 UTC

The SEL activities are a great way teachers can start their day and engage students to determine how ready they are for a day of learning. We don't know what baggage students may be carrying into the classroom from their home situations or from events that took place on the bus or in the car that morning. Showing students that their well-being is important, starts the day on the right frame of mind. As a coach, I am excited to share these activities with teachers.

SEL Toolkit

2022-05-17 15:13:59 UTC

The feelings check-in enables students to express how they are feeling which supports connection between the students and with the teacher when discussed appropriately. The teacher will become aware of any major distractions from learning the students may have and adjust instruction effectively. The rank your values activity is another great way to build connections in the classroom. It also enables the teacher to communicate and build lessons which align with the values of the students.

SEL Toolkit

2022-05-18 18:59:31 UTC

SEL activities are excellent for building community. The more comfortable and confident students feel in the classroom (and school) community the more they will learn and grow.
The emotional check-in is a great way for the teacher to take the pulse of the class (or training group). I like that it can be done in a private manner (names not shown).
The group activities build relationships between individual students and their interaction skills!

I love the self-management activities. I could see myself using the grounding techniques with students and teachers! It is so important for all of us to begin a task as mentally grounded and present at possible. It is so easy to add short, simple strategies like the Self-Portrait template so that students can reflect on how they learn best and what good they contribute to the world around them.

I love the idea of daily wellness check-in. It can be done quickly and easily, so that the teacher can get an idea of how ready the students are to learn for the day! It helps you acknowledge your students’ feelings and show them you have respect and truly care for them.

SEL lessons are a great way to open up communication between my elementary students. It really sets the tone for the day. Everyone can feel heard even if they are only choosing a face that shows their emotions. Teachers can easily get a sense of how the class is feeling that day and lead the conversation to hopefully resolve some of the negative feelings and celebrate the positive feelings.

Actively involving students in their own social and emotional development encourages them to practice good habits.

The SEL Toolkit is a great way to start a class. Checking in on how students are feeling or how their day is going. With the daily check in, teachers are given one more tool to help keep students focused and avoid power struggles in class with students that are having a not so good day.

2022-06-22 14:02:04 UTC

Students will have a difficult time learning if they are in emotional distress. The SEL toolkit is a great way to provide check-ins with students, help them sort through emotions, as well as make good choices with decisions they need to make.

SEL

Before beginning a lesson, I will be using Student Well-being Check-ins. Teaching high school students, it is critical to gage where they are emotionally to understand their mindset.

SEL Toolkit

2022-07-12 01:24:34 UTC

The SEL toolkit gives educators a variety of resources to integrate emotional learning into all lessons. This is so imperative as our students have a variety of emotional needs. We must priorities their emotional needs as much as their academic.

I really love the bit on responsible decision-making. We preach our core values but this aspect is harder to teach. Kids are making decisions constantly. I like the idea of having a framework and expectations of what this could (should) look like. The helpful/hurtful sort would be especially effective with my K-3 students. I would use this prior to a teambuilding activity or game play to set the stage for how to interact with one another.

I think the Relationship Building Activities are great! Having taught students who were 100% virtual the past 2 years, this would be a great easy way to check-in with the students, as well as a way for their peers (and myself) get to know them better. Students who joined my live sessions were able to build some relationships, but not to the extent they would have in a typical classroom. I think doing a different relationship builder each day, at the start of the lesson, would be good also for different learning style/interests of students as well.

I really liked the self portrait collage activity where students can highlight their interest and values to get to know more about them.

Reflections on Lumio's SEL Toolkit

SMBerdaxagar — 2022-07-17 23:04:57 UTC

The SEL Toolkit is a great way to get to know our students' needs, learning styles and preferences as well as fostering their metacognitive, self awareness and management skills. It supports  social awareness and relationship skills which help collaborative and cooperative learning in PBL through responsible decision-making  to deal with problems and conflicts. https://www.pinterest.es/smberdaxagar/soft-skills-emotional-intelligence/

The SEL section of Lumio offers amazing resources to help teachers get to know their students' feelings, values, beliefs and to have conversations to build a supportive classroom community. Students, on the other hand, will have an opportunity to self-reflect.

Using the SEL resources in Lumio are very helpful to both students and teachers. It is important for teachers to build relationships with their students and using the ready made lesson takes a lot off the already busy teacher's plate. Student check-ins are important not just for academics but also for making the connections and building the classroom community. I can't wait to use the

SEL

2022-08-02 23:45:19 UTC

I love the idea of connecting the SEL to the regular curriculum to have conversations all along the way...for example, what is a team player and how do you feel if someone isn't helping the team. Its important that everyone is able to identify things that will help them learn and address things that are standing in the way of student success!

SEL Activity

2022-08-06 12:05:28 UTC

I love the resources for the SEL Activity. All lessons should start this way to connect to your students and audience. You are addressing the needs of your students which is so important to help them learn.

I plan to use a quick checkin for my students just to get how they are feeling at the start of the class. Students will have a drag and drop activity

Iniziare le attività quotidiane con alcune attività e buone pratiche di SEL è utile e positivo per tutti gli alunni in particolare per quelli con disabilità o con sindrome da iperattività o scarsa concentrazione. Le daily routines sono proficue e mettono in sintonia tutta la classe che si prepara così a lavorare col giusto "clima".

The self-management activities are great for my younger EBD students who have struggled to manage their stringer emotions. I love that these small activities can lead to bigger ongoing conversations with the students.

Decision-making Activities

2022-08-23 18:05:35 UTC

Persoonlijk vind ik de 'decision-making Activities' voor mij het belangrijkst. De rest kan ik gebruiken bij allerlei dagelijkse bezigheden, maar deze kan ik inzetten in lastige situaties waarin kinderen gaan nadenken over hun eigen gedrag. Door een goed gesprek aan te vullen met deze activiteiten zullen kinderen meer gaan nadenken over hun gedrag naar anderen toe. Dit komt de sfeer in de groep ten goede en zullen de kinderen beter kunnen leren.

I would like to try the What I can Control" activity with the students. I think they would benefit from realizing there are many things within their control each day to ensure they have a successful day.

haelee_solomon — 2022-09-22 18:54:59 UTC

These SEL startup are a great way to check in with students to see how they're feeling before teaching content.

This is so amazing for my high school students who have had dysregulation thrusted upon them through the changes in learning due to COVID. My students with IEP's that struggle to see others difference can be most affected by this content.

2022-09-27 19:02:38 UTC

I could incorporate elements from the SEL toolkit with an SEL unit I've created myself based on the "What Should Danny Do" Series. The children can discuss their feelings if they were in Danny's shoes. They can perhaps share a time when they were in a similar situation and what choices they made along with how they felt.

Many adults have a hard time differentiating this, so this resource for kids is a great tool to have.

I love the self-management games and activities. They give practical strategy for regulating big emotions and tough situations! I would use this during a morning meeting with students at the beginning of the week to prepare for situations that might arise during the week.

SEL

lorena_preite — 2022-10-31 15:54:57 UTC

I recently discovered SEL and am using it in one of my classes. The children really appreciate these moments in the school day. We use different tools to describe the mood: emoji, icons or we write the names directly and then each child, if they feel like it, explains what their mood is due to.

Wealth of Resources

These resources are amazing and as someone that works in the central office for our district, I am excited to show the other leaders this fantastic resource!

Looking at the SEL toolkit, the first way I thought about using it would be to share it with our school counselors. This would be a great tool for them. I could also share it with our teachers, so they can incorporate these check ins into their lessons. As an Instructional Technology Specialist, I could also use the toolkit as a way to check in with my teachers prior to training!

SEL

2022-11-09 13:11:22 UTC

Starting lessons with SEL in mind acknowledges the importance of relationships, community, and self awareness. It lets students know that who they are as a person is just as important as the content which you are teaching. It allows you as a teacher to connect with your students in a nonthreatening way and show them that you value them. It is also important for them to acknowledge their own social and emotional development and begin to learn new, positive ways to cope with their emotions.

SEL

2022-11-11 20:50:25 UTC

Using the tookit as a daily check in to monitor student's social and emotion wellbeing is a big bonus. And allows them to take a step back and monitor themselves on whether the words they say are helpful or hurtful to others.

Establishing and maintaining healthy and supportive relationships is essential and strengthens and builds class community. I really like how all of the activities in the emotional literacy toolkit give voice to ALL and foster classroom discussions that connect students and build community. I really like how it aligns with the CASEL framework which we used when identifying our standards on our report card. I can see how some of these activities would provide some evidence and feedback of student progress with their emotional learning.

SEL

2022-11-17 17:44:04 UTC

SEL is being integrated throughout our district and as an instructional technology coach, I love these ready-made SEL activities that I can turn around with teachers to easily integrate into their lessons. Through SEL, children develop
awareness and management of their emotions, set and achieve important personal and academic goals, use social awareness and interpersonal skills to establish and maintain positive relationships, and demonstrate decision making and responsible behaviors to achieve school and life success. Setting this SEL intention at the beginning of lessons will set students up for success to manage their emotions through content/skills they may not know or understand. I've attached my go-to SEL slide I use before each of my professional development training decks.

SEL ACTIVITIES

2022-11-21 18:58:34 UTC

Using SEL activities, teachers can implement and work on skills that improve the quality of classroom work and the intra- and interpersonal development of students. They learn to work in teams, improve their social skills and can activate knowledge of soft skills.

Social Awareness

These are a great variety of resources to support SEL. We encourage our teachers to utilize the reflect app in Teams as sort of a daily/weekly 'check-in' with their students. I think many of these activities would be nice precursors to establishing those routines. They could also supplement many of the discussions in our Character Strong/PurposeFull People curriculum. I particularly appreciate the Self-Management activities to establish expectations (both self and classroom), and to help understand what is within our control.

SEL in Adult Learning

2023-01-15 10:55:35 UTC

My context is adult education. I can use SEL in my context by allowing adult learners to reflect other cross-cultural experiences. They can talk about the culture shock they may be feeling and strategies that they are using to adapt.

When I think about utilizing the ready-made SEL activities that Lumio has to offer it gives me the opportunity to set the stage for students to think of how to work through emotions or situations they may experience throughout an activity, lesson, or the day. I've learned that pre-teaching how to work through emotions and situations has caused less anxiety, frustration, or shut down from students if they have tools or prior knowledge of how to work through various things!

2023-03-20 08:27:08 UTC

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.

SEL for staff meetings

2023-03-20 18:56:37 UTC

The SEL tool kit is a wonderful resource for students but also for adult learners as well! It is important to remember teachers need to be checked in on and given time to reflect and chat with their coworkers from other grades and subjects. I love how the tools can move across student and adult learners seamlessly.

Creating Positive Classroom Cultures

2023-03-24 16:08:57 UTC

Getting a temperature on the climate of your classroom through a quick poll or one of the premade SEL templates allows me, as a teacher, to notice and adjust my presentation, expectations, or make a note of who to check in with more frequently during the lesson.

Something for everyone

2023-04-10 22:29:15 UTC

The SEL Toolkit gave a wide variety of activities that teachers can use in the classrooms with their students. I liked how there were examples that can be used across all grade levels, as sometimes I think SEL can be very focused on in the elementary and not as much in the secondary. I really liked the think it through activity for reflecting on possible options of a choice and the pros/cons for each option. 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.

2023-04-24 10:52:08 UTC

For early childhood education, it is absolutely effective to start my lesson with the feelings check in. This creates spaces for everyone even those shy/quiet ones to express their feelings and choose the perfect option that matches their feeling.

There is a cliche that I consistently use - Maslow before Bloom. Unless students feel that the learning environment is a safe and comfortable one. One that they feel that they can engage in the learning without risk! The tools presented do provide a means to start the learning by "breaking the ice" so that students feel safe, comfortable and that they will have their thoughts valued and respected.

The Social Awareness activity would make a a great intro to learning about plants in first grade since it provides relevance to students about why they should learn about them. It also shows what it means to be a responsible caretaker for the environment as a form of kidness.

SEL check in

2023-04-30 13:04:40 UTC

Having a checkin allows the teacher to know how students are feeling for that specific day. Some students will not speak to up about their feelings but will share with a checkin.

I love the idea of using the SEL toolkit for so many different things! Our District hosts a "Wellness Wednesday" for students to take part in various wellness activities and the resources in Lumio's SEL Toolkit are perfect for these days. Students can use the "Core Values" activity to identify traits within themselves, and use the "Qualities of a Friend" to decide which traits are important in a friend.

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. The Self-Portrait Collage activity would be an excellent way to introduce SEL to students of all ages and allow the teachers to self-reflect on their own lives.

Think it Through

2023-05-15 13:41:02 UTC

2023-05-18 19:12:58 UTC

I like all the ideas in the SEL toolkit. I like using the feelings check-in to see how the students are doing because everyone's day starts differently and feelings change throughout the day, so it is good to know how students are feeling. I also really like the grounding techniques. I could see using these slides in an intervention period where there is time to talk about these things and not mess with pacing.

I cannot wait to use SEL Toolkit with my Spanish classes. I used to have a positive quote before we start class and check in with my students how they feel, what they think about it! I love my new tools.

Responsible Decision Making

2023-06-26 15:38:42 UTC

Every year teachers need to learn about what makes their students tick; students must also learn what makes their teacher(s) tick. I like the responsible decision making activities to help students think and learn how what they do (or others do) impact the learning environment. If we guide them early in the year, we can make help them make good choices and increase their learning opportunities for life!

Many parts of the SEL Toolkit can be incorporated in the Alberta Health and Life Skills Program of Studies. The Toolkit is a good resource for activities in any class. I will include it in my Homeroom as well.

SEL drop ins

2023-07-04 19:09:32 UTC

We found that having a range of SEL drop ins supported our students enough to make them reach out if they feel they needed to. One member of staff invited students to add an emoji to their name when logging in so show how they were feeling. This advised her who to question and who not to in a very subtle way

How Are You Feeling Today

As the Media Specialist, a lot can happen to the students through out the day. Using this as a intro activity will allow me to gauge where students are on that particular day and time.
As for the other ideas, there area many that I can share with the classroom teachers to incorporate in their morning meeting and throughout the day.

SEL

I love the idea of being able to check in with my students throughout the day! I could then use this information to make changes to fit the needs of the students each day.
I also would like to use them to help them understand their own feelings as well as the feelings of others to help empower them and make them feel great about themselves!

Using an SEL activity can help students reflect on how they are feeling and it creates a safe space for them to share. It also helps build community and empathy.

As an Edtech coach having the toolkit to highlight options in Lumio for the staff related to SEL is fantastic. I can promote the importance of SEL and the ready made resources that will spark interest in using Lumio.

Using SEL Toolkit

My school eats/lives/breathes the Global Citizenship Program all year. The SEL Toolkit is another way to compliment the four GCP tenets:
We accept all people.
We protect the environment.
We help those in need.
We work for peace.

Social and Emotionnal Learning

I have to admit that it is something I never focus on with my students. It's something to think about

2023-08-02 04:19:24 UTC

I use an SEL check in every morning with my Pre-K students and I noticed just how impactful it was to talk with them and have them discuss their feelings. The SEL toolkit can give more ideas on how to incorporate SEL in most/all lessons!

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.
As the IT Leader I work with all students in the area of bullying/cyberbullying. There are some great templates that I have added to my Library to be modified to suit our context.

hawasafwat — 2023-08-17 16:27:45 UTC

The different templates Lumio has to offer has been a great addition to my morning meetings. Students seem to enjoy sharing their feelings/emotions when they first start and it's a great way to scan the room before jumping into content.

SEL Toolkit

2023-08-22 19:13:13 UTC

I like the way of using SEL with Lumio,
for me, I will use SEL as a warm-up activity with my students, like using Daily good news, to build a good relationship between my students and me, also this will make them exciting about telling there news for there friends.

And self management its very helpful to understand my students feeling and how to work with them depends on their feelings.

Great and new way actually to use SEL.

I love to use SEL during morning meetings. It's a great way to quickly check in and see if we might need to change our daily plans.

Using Lumio's library of SEL activities and lessons in addition to our social-emotional curriculum (we were using Open Circle and are transitioning to Second Step) is an easy way for teachers to help students in this post-covid era. We are seeing more behavior issues than ever, and this is one way to help address that.

As a classroom teacher, I like the idea of being able to use the SEL toolkit in two specific ways. First, I would like to use this as a check in/share opportunity where students can begin class by checking in on where they're at emotionally, share wins, etc. Second, I would like to use these as discussion starters.This toolkit allows students to think about themselves, what they value, and why they are the way they are, and then to articulate that in discussions with their classmates.

I am excited to utilize the variety of tools found in the Toolkit within the library. I can see the resources here being extremely useful with my students and coworkers! I believe there is value in using a quick check-in with any learner, adult or younger, before beginning a full lesson.

SEL Toolkit

2023-10-12 19:10:12 UTC

I could use this kit before each lesson to understand how my students or adults are coming into the lesson. This can be analyzed with their results of the lesson as it my affect their performance or engagement.

A Holistic Approach

2023-10-17 09:17:26 UTC

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.

I could use the Lumio Library to find a SEL lesson for my students. I could also use Lumio to create my own SEL lesson for students! There are so many options.

2023-11-28 19:21:44 UTC

I can use this as a check-in with students. Knowing how they are feeling when they come in to class will help me gauge how to interact with them throughout the lesson.

I can use these as a beginning, middle and end of the day check-in with my students . This way I know where they are mentally and emotionally as a learner at that point in the day.

I use the feelings check-in before a lesson with my 2nd year class (grade 1). First it gives them an opportunity to express how the feel without saying/acting it out. Secondly, it gives me an idea of how to support each child based on responses.

I am a Sel Ambassador in Italy and Lumio help me in this way of teaching very very good. My students are engaging and they are so happy to build their knowledge with a facilitator like me.

SEL

2024-02-05 17:17:42 UTC

Self-reflection is a critical component in any student's growth. There are many resources here to facilitate this. Then, after self-reflections, students can learn to articulate their thoughts with others.

rburroughs4 — 2024-02-09 20:18:18 UTC

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.

SEL Toolkit

2024-02-13 15:42:01 UTC

The SEL Toolkit could be used as a bell work to check in with students daily or weekly to gauge how they are feeling.

SEL

We know that 1) an effective teacher prioritizes relationships and 2) students need more emotional support post-pandemic than ever before. I would use these resources in our Community Circle time to foster a positive classroom community.

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!

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.

2024-02-21 15:18:37 UTC

I use the Choose Kindness lesson during Kindness Week. This was a great tool for students to use to show how they were going to be kind in various situations. The students were active participants in their own learning.

Having a toolkit like this is a great way to start.

I can see utilizing these in all settings and maxing this out with ways to revamp it the needs of my subjects or teachers.

Starting a lesson with a SEL lesson like the helpful vs. hurtful sort will embed needed social skills review for my students with various exceptionalities. Making them apart of our day and not just a separate lesson will help them "stick."

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

2024-06-18 17:07:13 UTC

I like the SEL check in to get to know my students and their home life. Sharing good news is a great way to start the day before we begin our lessons or while they eat breakfast in the classroom.

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 Toolkit

2024-06-26 03:12:48 UTC

I will use the SEL Toolkit before my lessons to check how my students come into the lesson. I will use the information to include any necessary strategy that will help me increase my student's engagement.

SEL Toolkit

This gives me the opportunity to see how my students are feeling when they come in and I can plan our brain breaks appropriately. For example, if we need to get energized to do some affirmations.

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.

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.

SEL Toolkit

2024-07-01 15:42:51 UTC

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.

We are a Responsive Classroom district so we use morning meetings as a way to build relationships and a strong classroom community. I think this SEL Toolkit is something I can use during our morning meeting time to engage students and help them develop their SEL skills.

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 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.

The SEL Toolkit provides a great range of quick activities to check in with the class a reinforce positive behaviours and values. I would use the Feeling Check-In template to gain a quick understand of how ready my class is to learn and what adaptations I may need to make in my instruction in light of the responses.

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.

We don't tend to use daily SEL check in's prior to the SEL lessons, doing this prior to the lesson is a great idea!

I think this is a wonderful resource for teachers. They can use it to engage with their students who maybe learning how to maintain their emotions. This is a great resource our counselor can use during her lessons also!
