The Morning Break with Dorian Brown 06-05-22: How important is SEL?

Dorian is joined by Ellen Mahoney, CEO of Sea Change Mentoring, for an in-depth examination of what SEL is, why it is important and how it can look in a number of different contexts. We dive into what feels like a rabbit warren, exploring how interconnected many aspects of day to day school life crossover and run through SEL and also acknowledge the importance of SEL for teachers as well as students.
 
Ellen describes how implementing SEL programmes is a complex process and unique to each individual school and network. As such, Ellen wholeheartedly supports and encourages an evidence informed approach to SEL to empower teachers and leaders to have the knowledge and understanding necessary to implement effective support structures that create the conditions that allow students to thrive.
 
Ellen’s personal and professional experiences have helped shape her motivation to support students, teachers, leaders and schools around the world through Sea Change Mentoring. Closely related to SEL, we also cover aspects of safeguarding, SEL CPD training and Third Culture Kids. A really thought-provoking discussion which prompts introspection and is sure to give you some ideas to take into your own classrooms and professional discussions.
