My Project

“Social and emotional learning (SEL) refers to the process through which individuals learn and apply a set of social, emotional, and related skills, attitudes, behaviors, and values that help direct their thoughts, feelings, and actions in ways that enable them to succeed in school, work, and life.” These lessens are imbedded in the idea of STEAM teaching. With books and workbook activities and tools in my cart I can grow as a educator and learn how to develop my skills to deliver the the lessons as they are intended and give not only academic insight and education but also Socio-emotional lessons as well. When students are comfortable they will absorb the information more. With Project/hands on learning I can deliver new techniques and ideas that will foster growth in their educational journey. With a cart to store my items I can show organization as a tool to model. Developing is about personal growth and learning how to decompress so you can also absorb the information as well, these are lessons I want to show my students I can model for them. They should learn self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, building positive relationships with education that is fun and engaging and, responsible decision making. It is my job to learn these techniques to pass onto them. Please help me give them these tools and new educational opportunities that I can foster and learn through professional development and growth as a educator.
