In this interactive workshop, secondary educators will explore how social-emotional learning (SEL) can serve as a powerful tool to strengthen student relationships and build a more inclusive, connected classroom environment. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how SEL competencies—such as self-awareness, empathy, and relationship skills—impact student interactions and overall well-being. Through hands-on activities, practical strategies, and collaborative discussions, educators will learn how to use CharacterStrong to integrate SEL into their daily teaching practices, fostering trust, empathy, and positive communication among students.
