Designed specifically to help educators develop their SEL skills, the “Building Within” workshop series will feature guided personal reflections and offer tools for implementing SEL practices on a daily basis. Led by social emotional learning coaches Kathleen McClay and Erica Brentan, educators will come away with a set of activities they can take back to their schools and easily share with colleagues in their school communities.

Workshop topics include:
–Understanding, accepting, and positively responding to emotions
