What if the purpose of education at your school and in your classroom were all children thriving: in their learning and in their lives? What if the goal of your school system was all students learn the skills to thrive socially, culturally, emotionally, linguistically, academically, and physically, from birth onwards? How do we intentionally design academic learning experiences that help students to develop their social, emotional, and life skills?

Thoughtfully designed cooperative learning experiences provide a critical opportunity for students to develop their social and emotional skills. By integrating SEL and cooperative learning in your instruction, you can help your students not only master academic content but also thrive.

Join us for a day of hands on, interactive, and reflective exploration of cooperative learning and SEL aimed at helping children thrive. Experience culturally informed and culturally affirming SEL through cooperative learning practices. Leave this workshop with new tools in your tool box so that you will be ready to embody, engage, and teach these essential life skills.
