This one-day workshop provides participants with examples and practice activities to teach Social and Emotional Learning Skills (SEL) utilizing evidence-based practices identified in the National Standards Report (2015). Intended for educators of students in elementary and middle school, this workshop will guide participants using the Social Learning and Emotional Regulation (SOLER) curriculum. Participants will learn how to determine a student’s current level for each skill target and where to begin instruction. An online system will be demonstrated with hands-on practice opportunities. Participants will learn how to access and use structured lesson plans alongside a curriculum scope and sequence to teach SEL skills. In addition, participants will be presented with strategies for using evidence-based practices like social narratives, role-play, peer-based instruction, video modeling, and self-monitoring. The workshop will include extensive data collection systems so participants can feel confident measuring progress both during the social skills group and during generalization of skills in natural settings.
