In our May professional development session, Amanda Petersen guided teachers through a focused end-of-year reflection on SEL practice. Participants selected an SEL lesson that went well and a student who struggled with regulation, spent time writing about what felt meaningful, and then shared concrete classroom moments. Teachers discussed how lessons influenced engagement, empathy, collaboration, leadership, and self-regulation.
This recording is worth watching if you want practical, classroom-ready examples and clear next steps for embedding SEL in daily routines. Reflection was emphasized as a way to identify which strategies produced real student growth so teams can plan intentionally for next school year. The session includes authentic teacher share-outs, specific strategies to sustain SEL routines, and actionable ideas—like building a shared resource bank, choosing one focused growth target, scheduling follow-ups, and collecting quick student evidence.
