NESC 2021 Fall Regional In-service: Improve Every Lesson Plan with SEL

TOPIC: SEL

Jeffrey Benson, ASCD

8:45 – 10:15 AM CST 90-minute keynote

This session will be recorded and available toNESC schools throughout the school year.

Improve Every Lesson Plan with SEL

Description: Supporting students to develop their social andemotional skills (SEL) is a task all teachers--which means every adult whointeracts with young people in schools-- have always considered part of ourwork. We randomly prompt students tolisten respectfully, to ask for what they need, to have goals for themselves,and to be responsible members of their communities.

Modern brain research hasalso identified that mastery of academics is dependent on social and emotionalcompetencies. Leveraging SEL skillsincreases academic success. We’ve known that since we were kids; when we weremotivated and supported we did more work and better managed our frustrations inorder to reach mastery.

In this keynote, ASCD authorand long- time teacher and school leader, Jeffrey Benson, will provide veryspecific strategies and activities that take what we are now doing-- our randomand implicit prompts and praise to use SEL skills-- and make that an explicitand intentional component within our daily work. This is not anothercurriculum, not a panacea, and not a way to trick students into doing theirwork. By integrating SEL skills into our daily interactions and lessons, werelentlessly build student competencies, harness their attention to the deeperpurposes of the lessons, and have a lasting impact on how students seethemselves as members of their communities in and out of school. This keynoteis an inspiration for the coming schoolyear, reminding us all why we really wanted to work in schools with youngpeople.
