WEBINAR: Sports-Focused Initiatives: A Way Through the Debate about SEL?

In the ongoing recovery from pandemic-precipitated school and life disruptions, student mental health and the need to integrate social-emotional learning (SEL) into classroom learning and school culture has been at the forefront of elementary education. With sports-oriented SEL initiatives thriving in red and blue states, and rural, urban and suburban communities, a movement is emerging that draws the connections between sports and the skills students need to succeed in the classroom. Join Olympic medalists and leaders in the field of sports-based SEL in this session that will explore the importance of ensuring that students’ educational experiences include being part of safe and open culture where they can build trusting relationships and advance their developmental needs, and how sports can be a point of unity in the debate about SEL.
