Social-Emotional Learning Workshop

Developing social-emotional learning (SEL) knowledge and skills is especially critical for multilingual learners of English to help them adjust to a new culture and learn a new language. At the same time, many English language educators do not receive training on how to incorporate SEL into their classrooms.

To meet this need, TESOL has developed an interactive and participant-centered Social-Emotional Learning Workshop led by an expert in the field. In this 7.5-hour live workshop, you’ll be equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to practice self-care and be confident in implementing SEL in your learning spaces to support and benefit your learners. This online workshop takes place 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET the week of 3 June 2024.

All sessions will be recorded and available on the TESOL Canvas platform for participants for a month following the workshop.

Once you complete the workshop, you'll receive a digital badge you can share online! An electronic certificate of completion can be provided upon request. 

To use as a quick reference, you'll receive an e-copy of the TESOL Zip Guide: Social-Emotional Learning for English Learners!
