How SEL and ELLs Make the Perfect Pair

Join us for a session filled with socially equitable teaching strategies! In this session, we will share a case study from Palm Springs Unified School District where a series of hands-on social-emotional learning activities were used to connect a group of 49 English Learner students to the school community, thus engaging in deeper learning, increasing their language and academic skills as well as developing their confidence. We will share the activities and participants will design their own rollout of similar strategies for their students.

This talk was presented at:
2023 National ESEA Conference
February 2023 in Indianapolis, IN
