When implemented effectively in classrooms, social emotional learning (SEL) practices can help students find their identities and locate themselves within communities in person and online. However, many young people report having their mental health negatively impacted by social media. This session will discuss implementing the best SEL teaching methods so students can navigate this digital world safely when finding their voice and developing their sense of self.
