40% of the SHAPE America Standards are focused on the Social and Emotional wellbeing of our students. Teaching SEL Skills doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice movement in your classes. This session will demonstrate how teachers can provide students with SEL skills while simultaneously teaching physical skills. We will cover how the five CASEL competencies, goal setting, and team building activities can be enhanced through activities that include MVPA. Participants will also learn how creating a safe space for learning can lead to increased student performance and better behavior. Content areas will include classroom management skills, and lesson planning for the social and emotional needs of the students.
