I'm your host, April Danielle, and I am thrilled to embark on this journey of fostering well-being, growth, and renewed passion for teaching among faculty members.
In this inaugural episode, we delve into the origins of the S.E.L.F. Show and explore the personal story behind its creation. Join me as I share my own journey and experiences, revealing the motivations that led me to establish this platform. As a seasoned educator myself, I understand firsthand the challenges and pressures faced by teachers today, including the toll it can take on their well-being and love for teaching.
Discover how my encounters with social-emotional learning practices, combined with my background in education, sparked a profound desire to create positive change within the teaching community. By weaving together my passion for teaching and the transformative power of SEL, the S.E.L.F. Show was born.
Throughout this series, we will dive into various topics related to social-emotional learning and explore practical strategies, insights, and real-life experiences shared by educators who have successfully integrated SEL into their classrooms. Together, we will discover how nurturing the social-emotional well-being of both teachers and students is not only essential for academic success but also for creating fulfilling teaching experiences.
