Strategies on how to use SEL skills in your classrooms
Structure, Repetition, & Consistency: Create a routine and be consistent: Develop a daily agenda and share an overview of each class or lesson to help establish structure in the classroom. Repeat your classroom expectations or rules everyday. Make it into a game, song, or riddle so it becomes a habit or routine.
Identify each student’s strength and write it down: Use team building activities to help students work together and identify peers strengths. Debrief as a larger group and share your perspective on what your class has accomplished; then write down the new strengths identified.
Reward your students for any good behavior: If your students have reached a goal or achievement, it should be celebrated! Give incentives such as no homework or 5 minutes of cell phone usage. Even something small will work, so they can look forward to the reward.
