Aperture Education’s new Winter SEL Guide contains 19 pages of social and emotional learning (SEL) strategies, resources, and activities to help educators, administrators, and families get the new year off to a good start.
The 2023 Winter SEL Guide’s theme is SEL Strategies to Keep Spirits Bright. The guide offers SEL challenges that teachers and families can do with students, as well as strategies that administrators can use to help educators feel supported and appreciated.
