The Power of Interactions: New Evidence for SEL Impact on Literacy Learning

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Teachstone.The webinar recording can be accessed here.Many educators understand that social-emotional learning (SEL) and academic development are connected, but we often think of teaching literacy and building relationships with students as separate responsibilities. Time-strapped teachers have a lot on their plates as it is—delivering reading lessons, helping struggling students, and managing challenging behaviors—and it’s not always easy to balance both students’ emotional well-being and their academic progress. School leaders also face questions about how to measure this connection and put it into practice.In this edWeb podcast, we examine new research from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) on how SEL supports literacy development, along with Teachstone’s evidence of meaningful adult-child interactions in the classroom. Experts discuss how SEL can boost literacy skills in early childhood and elementary grades and share strategies that leaders can use to support educators’ positive impact on their students.This session is designed for early childhood leaders, instructional coaches, district leaders, and childcare directors who are looking for practical ways to apply new research to support SEL and literacy development.TeachstoneWe help educators around the world leverage the proven power of interactions to help students thriveDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
