The
webinar that I have watched was about how to develop Social and Emotional
Skills through Positive Relationships. This webinar was presented by Venola
Mason, she believes that every single student deserves to have a high quality
education that give him\her opportunities to be successful in life.
During
the presentation, she focused on how to practice social and emotional learning,
Venola considered 3 main ideas:
First,
she talked about the process which children and adults can understand and
manage their emotions, set and achieve positive goals and show empathy for
others.
Second,
she mentioned some tips to establish relationships with students, the tips that
were interesting to me are:
·
Incorporate humor into lessons.
·
Always have a positive attitude.
·
Use students’ interests to your
advantage.
Finally,
she mentioned some strategies to cultivate a sense of belonging within your
classroom and among students like always encouraging students and motivate
them.
