Snippets:
- Life skills are very important for students' school life as well as real life.
- Many life skills programs remain within classrooms, they are not implemented in real life situations- for which they are taught.
- For SEL (social emotional learning) to be effective, teachers need to be able to embody what they are teaching—to be self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and deeply connected with their own sense of purpose.
- Teachers must be willing to be vulnerable with students. They must act more like a coach or mentor as opposed to a content-delivery agent.
- Teachers can make classroom decisions democratic by involving students.
- Connect SEL to real life situations.
- Connect SEL to other subjects too.
