No Sound. This happened earlier as well. Suggestions?
Hi Carol. On the bottom control bar to the left of the “CC” button you should see 5 small bars of growing size. Try clicking on the largest bar on the right so that all of the bars become blue. Give that a try and let us know if it’s still not working. Thanks for your patience.
There is nothing at all for me on the left of CC bottom, I missed lots of videos because of that reason, any suggestions? Would be really grateful
I have tried on a PC, the 5 bars exist but they are all full blue and still no sound…
The issue is that the sound is only coming out of one ear. Something’s gone wrong somewhere with the audio
No sound AGAIN!
Very bad sound!
Is there a text book that gives practical guidelines for teachers on how to implement SEL into their classroom?
Thank you!
Hello and greetings from Hong Kong and THANK YOU for organising such a wonderful summit with the renowned experts and the HH.
We wish to share our experience of delivering the animal-assisted social-emotional learning curriculum in Hong Kong: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0249033
(Effectiveness of a school-based programme of animal-assisted humane education in Hong Kong for the promotion of social and emotional learning: A quasi-experimental pilot study)
Really wish to learn more from all SEL experts around the world. Have a nice week.
Dr. Wong I am loving reading about this study.
Many thanks, Dan, Mark, Patricia and Robert for sharing years of experience. As suggested, SEL is not mere a program, it is a whole environment the community (including parents and others) can help each other to thrive. As Patricia said, giving teachers more power in pacing the delivery can be very useful. I believe the approach we use for delivery can be part of the holistic and integrated SEL environment
Sommehow I just do not find the live sessions…
Thank you. Great discussion and practical ideas.
Inspired
That was fantastic and I am very grateful. I would like to learn more about CARE and other SEL programmes for teachers and children. Thank you so much.
THANK YOU for organising such a wonderful summit.
Greetings from Suceava, Romania.
Tish Jennings! You are a hero-thank you for speaking to the teacher’s impact-there is a tremendous amount of time urgency and sensory overload on a teacher in a classroom, and therefore a need for support and adult SEL. Mindfulness is a significant part of our explicit instruction. I’d love to share the all-remote impact of our pandemic school year and they way in which I incorporated explicit mindfulness lesson in a fully remote year long classroom.
Well done.So much to consider about this vital aspect of building our global consciousness. Thank you for the updates and insights. Lot,s to do.
Many thanks to all the panelists for your insights and for sharing your wisdom and experience. Based on my work in developing a mindfulness-based school program I appreciated Trish’s comment of valuing each teacher’s voice and choice in the process of introducing new ways of working in their classroom. I believe and have seen that honoring this process goes a long way in any attempt of introducing and ultimately maintaining a new program’s sustaining success.
Very appreciative of being part of this summit!
As a student of Marshall Rosenberg, PhD and his nonviolent or compassionate communications, I always cringe when I hear the term “negative emotions.” Marshall reframed these emotions as “unpleasant emotions” but redeemed their nature by explaining that unpleasant emotions are essential to make us humans aware of when we have unmet needs. I have found this thread of negative emotions and the lack of acknowledgement of unpleasant emotions as messages from within trying to tell us what we need. When needs are met, there are only positive emotions. When needs are met, we experience unpleasant feelings and this is a simple statement of fact and function and there is nothing negative about this. I really think we are missing the boat by not including and even highlighting Marshall’s work in summits like this one. Otherwise, I celebrate and honor all the good works going on here this week.
Thx for this essential initiative. The efficacy studies of social skills training( groups I led included relaxation and identifying and expressing emotions)showed the need to daily reinforce skills and to involve caregivers to support and reward practices to maintain the learning until the intrinsic reward became apparent to the child.
Excellent comment! Parents and caregiver involvement is vitally important and hopefully will be more fully expressed in future research. It seems most research lens is on students and educators. I’m curious if there is any research on parental /caregiver participation in SEL programs.
Thanks so much for organizing this. Enjoying watching and learning a lot from the experts! Truly amazing!
As an educator working on mindfulness-based SEL with school teachers and parents in Vietnam, this session on SEL is the one I am most exited for. The exchange on this topic was very informative and in-depth. I have done research on teacher stress, mindfulness and SEL as coping strategy and have read books and research articles by Tish and Mark. It is wonderful to finally meeting them in person. Thank you all for this collective effort! Gratitude from Vietnam/ Lao.
Hello, warm greetings from Nepal. It was really wonderful to learn so much about SEL from the panelists. I was specially fascinated by the practice of “belly rising and falling” observation among the kids. Thank you organizers and panelists for such a wonderful learning opportunity. 🧘🏻♂️
Absolutamente inspirador, muchas gracias desde Villa CArlos Paz, Argentina
Thank you for such an inspiring discussion. I look much forward to further enquiry (thank you for providing the links to each of the panel members). Mr Goleman, I’m going to use the teddy breath as well as the guard dog/wise owl, first with students at the Demonstration School of the Khon Kaen University (Thailand) and later on, when I will return to Japan.
Thank you to all the panelists – I would have liked to have heard more from Tish – am going to check the syllabus in hopes that she is speaking again.
Where were you when I was 7?… “A lot going on” . Thanks so much….
Wonderful work. Oh if this could spread even more to schools around the world.
That would really bring hope to children and teachers, and parents!
This was a very insightful discussion on SEL. Gratitude to all the panelists. Are there any online forums to enroll and learn SEL in schools and colleges ?
Thank You.
Thank you so much for this extremely informative discussion. Having read the work by Ms. Jennings and Mr. Goleman, to see and hear them in person is absolutely amazing. I have learnt so much in this one hour and received many insights for my own work as an educator in India. Thank you!
Found the SEL programme useful. Liked the Calming and Focusing techniques and how important quality of attachments in infancy. Very stimulating discussion with plenty of takeaways. Thank you
Hi from Croatia. It’s great to hear about SEL. I work as a teacher in primary school and I know what are you talking about. I would like to know more about SEL courses because we don’t have any kind of professional development of that kind. We usually talk abou metodics and different approaches to teaching abou emotional part is on teachers’ open heartdness. How much compassionate you are, how do you feel as a person about the children, colleagues , your job. The emotions are not encouraged. And then we talk more and more about burn out. Administration is important in our school system.
We just have to help ourselves to be better educators, find the programmes that support and protect.
Thanks for your experiences!
I’m from Brazil, and I congratulate the US society for having such studies and applying them in the construction of a better living system, congratulations! Thank you for your contribution to the world as a whole!
This was amazing and so insightful. Thank-you to everyone on this panel! 🙂
