Social-Emotional Skills: The Gateway to Solving Academic & Behavior Problems
Margaret Searle and Marilyn Swartz invite you to participate in an online course for insights and strategies that help students who struggle with poor motivation, weak planning and organization skills, memory problems, and impulsive behaviors.
If your teachers want research-based strategies for embedding social-emotional learning into academic lessons, this is the seminar for you. We will provide practical instructional practices that will help with attention span, memory, impulse control, problem solving, organization and self-monitoring skills and link them to the new social-emotional standards. Research shows that improving these skills will increase academic performance as well as attendance and behavior.
