I am thrilled to present another episode from our Vlog series: “Teaching Trailblazers with Chris from Education to the Core”.  The series includes interviews with a variety of professionals across multiple disciplines in our field of education.  In this episode, I have a conversation with an amazing leader in our field, Beth Baker.  We discuss Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS).  Throughout the conversation we were able to not only cover why it is important to build these activities into your daily routines but how to do it as well. If you are wondering how to incorporate SEL and PBIS into your daily routines, this is the episode for you! Your journey to SEL and PBIS truly does start here!
