Back to Basics: How Understanding 'Likeness Can Help us do SEL, Mental Health, and Inclusive Practices Better

October 24, 2024 @3:00 - 4:00PM UTC

Ironically, we can sometimes get so busy designing great programs and implementing the solutions we have created that it is possible to forget to go back to the basics of WHY we are doing these things. What is it each child needs no matter their external diversity? Sometimes we need to revisit our basic reasons for doing what we do and remember WHY SEL is so critical to a child's current learning and future well-being.
