Strategies

14. 1. Promote Journal Writing
Reflective writing involves critically analysing an experience, recording how it has
impacted you and what you plan to do with your new knowledge.
Reflective journal writing is a great way to promote social emotional learning. Students
can either be given a prompt or asked to write freely. Writing a reflective journal helps
them become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, emotions and the resulting
behaviour.
It, thus, also helps them become more empathetic and compassionate. Creating a soothing
and comfortable environment during the writing exercise promotes the feeling of
relaxation and aids with the Sharing of responses with a partner or the entire class is
another useful way of promoting social emotional learning through reflective journal
writing.

15. 2. Encourage Read-Alouds for
Perspective Taking
Read- alouds can be a great way to encourage social emotional learning.
They allow the opportunity for perspective taking through a discussion on
whatever is being read.
This helps the kids become more aware, empathetic and compassionate
towards others’ thoughts, feelings and emotions while being able to better
manage their own thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviour around
others. This also helps develop their conflict resolution and management
abilities.

16. 3. Use Art to Encourage Expression
Art is a great medium of expression and social emotional learning can also
be practiced through it. Art is a great coping strategy for managing stress.
Moreover, working with partners helps promote teamwork, collaboration,
co-operation, sharing and relationship skills. This again is a great way to
practice both self-awareness and social awareness.
Example: Drawing, painting, sketching etc.
Benefits:
Using artistic methods takes your mind off of the negative emotions. It
encourages healing and mental well being.

17. 4. Discussing Empathy
This is a critical social emotional learning skill as it makes one more
socially aware and receptive to others. It is the foundation based on which
one is able to understand others better by considering their feelings, points
of view and the resultant behaviour. Thus, one is better able to manage
self and others in social situations.

18. 5. HOLD CLASS MEETING
♦ Daily or weekly class meetings help to encourage social emotional
learning. Where students discuss problems about course. Its forum where
kids speak freely about any topic and help them practice self expression,
problem solving etc.
♦ It help to create a positive climate for all students.

Using mindfulness in the classroom can help teach kids how to calm down
before a big test, manage their emotions when they are upset.
♦ Its help to manage stress and anxiety it is a self awareness skill that focus on
present to accept ones circumstances.
♦ Sometimes kids don’t know how to calm down on their own.

one thing at a time, and relaxing bodies.
EXAMPLE: BREATHING STRATEGEY (BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT)
Guided meditation

20. 7. PRACTICE RESPECTFULLY DISAGREEING

disagree respectfully. Often emotions run high when someone
disagrees with us it’s important to make students practice disagreeing
in good manner.

actively listen other one and respect opinion even when they don’t agree.

21. 8. PLAY GAMES

and make positive decisions.

22. Case Study
▪ Surveying Early childhood educators of Goddard School. After
surveying the early childhood educators of the Goddard school it was
found that 57.1% of the teachers said they have students with problem
in self regulation. This is an astounding number. Proves to me that
there is a need for solution. Using research based tactics can work. It
help us plan for social emotional learning.

23. CONT….
After conducting research and collection of data at Goddard School. I have
been able to come up with the solution recommendations for other educator
to implement. Social-emotional Learning and help their learners to gain the
ability to regulate. Within this case study is SEL Tool Box with the tools.
They need to help their learners in their SEL and self-regulation.

24. Why is SEL important or beneficial
for students?
1) SEL can help students better understand and identify their emotions; it
can help them develop empathy, increase self-control and manage stress.
It also helps them build better relationships and interpersonal skills that
will serve them in school and beyond, helping them succeed as adults.
2) SEL is all about helping students learn to cope and deal with their stress
and worries. It creates safe learning environments for kids because they
get to talk about their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. They also get to
learn coping skills to manage their mental wellness.

25. Why is SEL important for teachers?
SEL helps teachers manage stress and burnout. Practicing self-awareness
(one of the 5 competencies of SEL), they are more in tune with their
emotions and aware of the things that cause them stress. Knowing the
triggers enables them to use coping strategies to reduce the risk of
becoming overwhelmed.
