Embracing Social-Emotional Supports to Promote Positive Student Behavior

Abstract

Preschool and elementary school personnel often face many challenges to safeguard the social-emotional well-being of students. Post Covid-19 student behavior issues have increased in frequency and as an area of support needed for educators. Embracing social-emotional learning (SEL) in the classroom setting has many proven benefits. The presenters will discuss literacy resources paired with SEL games as tools that may support students' activities and discussions around social-emotional issues both in and out of school. Attendees will gain background information over triggers for students and reasons for behavior challenges. In addition, many teacher resources will be shared to support new and career teachers while supporting students with challenging behaviors. The presenters are aware of the importance of family involvement so activities and resources for out-of-school learning and support will also be shared during the presentation. The main focus of the presentation will be aimed at preschool and elementary teachers. However, higher education instructors who teach courses with a focus on those age-groups will benefit from the presentation.
