The last two webinars (Encouraging Empathy and The Social Emotional Journal) were excellent and useful, but I didn't care for the first 4; In my opinion, they were little more than a glorified infomercial for Apperson, and the presenters spent far more time trying to get us to buy into their SEL system than they did teaching us anything useful about SEL implementation.

Unless you are required to watch all the videos in this series for PD credits, I would recommend skipping webinars 2-4 as they are essentially reiterations of the first one.

I appreciated the fourth leg on the stool and it makes sense to be award of teacher SEL skills. I’m reminded of the beauty of having an aide in the classroom to give each other a time out moment if needed. I found greeting rituals to be powerful in welcoming our students to the classroom. Also, the close reading section of the webinar may have seemed typical to the average teacher but a firm reminder of the many components that go into productive reading.

My interest is piqued. My question would be how does one begin to implement/purchase the data and forms presented in this webinar. Perhaps that question will be answered as I continue with the other two classes that follow.

I think it's interesting how executive functioning and a lack thereof plays a major role in learning through the socio-emotional model

I found "Encouraging Empathy..." the most helpful. I wish the links still worked. The direct resources would have added greatly to my efforts to learn more.
