Event Information
Join us for a meaningful and hands-on learning experience designed to strengthen social-emotional development in young children. Together, we’ll explore not just why these skills matter, but how to intentionally teach and embed them throughout the day. Using Universal Design principles, we will model practical strategies that help educators nurture social-emotional growth during everyday moments in early learning environments.
This 2-session course also offers equity-focused clock hours, recognizing that social-emotional expression is deeply shaped by culture—and that diversity is a strength. Every student brings unique value, and this course aims to honor and uplift that truth.
We hope you’ll join us as we learn, practice, and build strong foundations for all children to thrive.
