Abstract Description : Combining over two decades of experience working in schools, we know that a "one-size-fits-all" approach to mental health and SEL is not a solution. In this highly interactive session, learn how vital daily check-ins are with students. Our best practices provide an authentic opportunity for student voices and their needs to be heard, in their own words, every day. Teachers love receiving information and tracking student data, in addition to increasing their understanding of the different parts of SEL. We will cover how putting the power in each student’s hands can help them build agency and choice. Learn how to make this an easy part of the day while building relationships and collecting data. Building these structures teaches students lifelong skills based in self-awareness and emotional wellbeing. SEL should not be just “one more thing” but the answer to promoting a safe classroom space, where students can thrive.

Learning Objectives:

  • At the end of this session, participants will be able to understand the importance of daily SEL/mental health check-ins with students.
  • At the end of this session, participants will be able to use data to inform instruction and interventions and communicate that data to parents and stakeholders.
