Tiny People, Big Skills: Supporting Students' Emotional Well-Being

How can teachers support Social Emotional Learning through intentional play?

In this 1.5 hour recorded presentation, Dr. Paula Freeman walks us through the importance of play and the social emotional competencies of mental flexibility, frustration tolerance and problem solving that can be built through teacher led games. Participants will leave with a new understanding of how to address social emotional learning through play and examples of specific games that can be used immediately in the classroom! 

By the end of this course participants will increase their understanding of: 

  • Importance of Play
  • Big 3 of Play (mental flexibility, frustration tolerance, problem solving)
