Developing Social and Emotional Skills through Positive Relationships

The webinar that I have watched was called Developing 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 opportunities to be successful in life.

In her presentation, she focused on understanding the practice of social and emotional learning, Venola considered 3 main ideas: First she defined 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, i liked the following three, incorporate humour into lessons, always have a positive attitude, and 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.
