A3. I think that SEL is more present than people realize! It’s really useful in sports teams, workplaces, I think anywhere where there is person-to-person interaction, really. We could all use at least a little #SEL

SEL4CT This cutie helps me practice self care every day. From recognizing when it’s time for a walk to practicing patience when she is being a persistent pup! #SELDay #sel4ct #sel4usa

SEL is important to use in all workplaces, sports teams and private organization especially during this time of the pandemic. #SELDay @SELHISD @DrLadora

SEL4CT There are tons of great resources for SEL in afterschool and summer program settings. Check out the sel4ct.org and the ctafterschoolnetwork.org websites for ideas! #SELDay #SEL4CT #SEL4USA

A6: While I have not had the opportunity to work with SEL in real life due to the pandemic, being able to spread information about it and contact other people about it through social media has been an amazing experience

Q8. What has been most challenging about teaching/learning/using SEL? #SELday #SEL4CT

Mara Schanfield Dr. Byron McClure Super fabulous resource. love this page in particular! SEL should primarily be a tier one universal intervention, however many of the concepts and lessons can be reinforced in deeper interventions at tier 2 and 3. The goal is an interactive and coherent narrative across tiers.
