All children need social and emotional skills so they can learn and be successful in school and in life. To be successful academically, children need to learn how to control their emotions and how to work in groups; these skills are necessary to thrive in school or any other learning situation. Children who can control their impulses and behaviors are much better prepared to listen and learn. This edWebinar will provide information, activities, and experiences that develop the seven skills children need in order to become successful learners. These include the ability to relate to and play with others, express feelings, and understand how others feel.

In this edWebinar, educators will:

• Recognize the importance of social-emotional development
• Discover that learning happens when children understand and control emotions and behaviors
• Address the seven essential skills that lay the foundation for school success
• Identify strategies you can do with children that support the seven essential skills

This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-3 teachers, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
