Have you considered providing mini PD to your teachers? You might be thinking that there is no way you are getting in front of your colleagues and teaching something. I completely understand that! But you can still support your teachers by providing easy PD for them about SEL strategies and counseling strategies that they can do in their classrooms.

 

 

 

 

Wouldn’t it be great if you could help many students use SEL strategies even without you physically being in the room? Teaching teachers strategies to help support their students is a great way to extend yourself a little bit. There are so many practices and strategies that they can easily implement into their classrooms and a little support and help from you can be so helpful with this. 

 

 

 

 

You don’t need to overcomplicate the PD you provide to teachers. Make it simple to teach them and simple for them to implement. Some counseling strategies I suggest teaching your teachers are utilizing a calm down corner, grounding techniques, guided meditation for mindfulness, and deep breathing techniques. All of these strategies will be so beneficial to your students and can be taught to your teachers with short and simple PD.
