Everybody is talking about social and emotional learning (SEL), and that attention is raising critical questions about what SEL is, why it matters, and how to approach it in school communities. Too often these questions on SEL are being positioned as an “either/or” frame, rather than a “both/and” discussion.

If you are looking to better understand SEL or if you are responsible for helping build awareness of SEL in your community, this webinar is for you.

Join CASEL’s Vice President of Practice and Programs, Melissa Schlinger, and Senior Director of Field Learning, Justina Schlund, as they dispel five dichotomies on SEL.

Please note a change in CASEL’s policy for live webinar engagement. We will not be offering a chat function during the live webinar. We strongly encourage you to submit questions ahead of time in the form below. As a live attendee, you will also have the opportunity to submit questions to our panelists during the webinar.
