What does social-emotional learning (SEL) as a schoolwide approach look like in action? In this episode, I’m joined by Lana Penley, author and founder of Unlocking SEL, to explore this important topic.

Lana shares her experience with SEL during a school crisis and how it supported both students and staff. We talk about what social-emotional learning is and what it’s not!

She explains how SEL helps create a positive school culture and offers practical ways to embed it across the entire school community. You’ll hear what SEL lessons can look like for students and how she incorporated social-emotional learning into professional learning for staff. Plus, we discuss common mistakes schools make when implementing SEL and the first steps you can take to bring social-emotional learning to your campus. Listen now to learn about SEL as a schoolwide approach!
