Reimagine Social Emotional Learning
Centering Connection, Compassion, and Care
Social-emotional learning (SEL) has been championed and challenged in recent years, so how do we reclaim its heart and reimagine its purpose?
Join SEL/EI Specialist and children’s author, Kellie Doyle Bailey as she shares insights on how we can reimagine SEL to center connection, compassion, and a contagion of care—both for young people and the adults who guide them. Through the lens of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, mindfulness and creative expression, you’ll explore practical ways to nurture resilience, connection and belonging for everyone.
Drawing on her longtime work in emotional intelligence, neuro-developmental sequences of humans and her children’s book series, including Some Days I Flip My Lidand the Some Days collection, Kellie will highlight how mindfulness and neuroscience can serve as powerful tools for emotional regulation and co-regulation.
