Boosting Social-Emotional Learning Through Hands-on Play, by LEGO Education and SmartBrief

Summary:
Social-emotional check ins with students are more important than ever in e-learning and hybrid learning environments -- especially now that teachers do not have the same in-person contact that was afforded pre-pandemic. Taking breaks from screens for play-based activities can provide that much-needed social-emotional boost. In this one-hour webinar hosted by SmartBrief Education, three play-based SEL experts will discuss tangible ways to engage students in hands-on activities, even in remote settings. Tune in to hear more about:

• The value of prioritizing SEL in remote environments
• The connection between SEL and play-based learning
• How to incorporate household items into play-based SEL
• Appropriate SEL play-based activities and timeframes by age group

• Naomi Harm, Women, Leadership Coach/Mentor and NGSS and STEM Specialist
• Dyane Smokorowski, Educator, National Teacher Hall of Fame Inductee, Wichita Public Schools
• Dr. Jenny Nash, Head of the Education Impact Team, LEGO Education North America
