Students often need help navigating the ups and downs of complicated emotions, which is why social-emotional learning has become an important part of everyday learning. As a strong advocate for better overall student mental health, New York art educator Heather McCutcheon uses the five core competencies of SEL in art projects that help her students become more intuitive, creative, and emotionally centered. Heather shares examples of SEL-infused art projects and how you can incorporate SEL competencies into your projects to help students creatively express emotions.
Loved the workshop- as an elementary art teacher and former art therapist working in a title 1 school; I am very interested in combining more SEL related lessons into my curriculum.
So glad you enjoyed it, Patricia! –Liz B., Nasco Education
