In this Parent Corner episode, I’m joined by my amazing friend, Andriana, and we are talking all about teaching preschoolers about big feelings and how we can support teachers with social-emotional learning.

Ana is a teacher, classroom and behavior management coach, and the Founder of The Active Educator. She created The Active Educator platform to provide teachers with meaningful classroom and behavior management strategies that emphasize movement-based and social-emotional learning.

Today, we’re getting into the basics of SEL, some strategies for creating a positive and supportive classroom environment, and how to handle behavioral challenges you may face in your class.

Episode Highlights:

1. What is social-emotional learning and why is it important

2. Foundational SEL skills for Kindergarten readiness

3. Strategies for creating a positive and supportive classroom environment

4. #1 most common behavioral challenge in the classroom

5. SEL curricula and activities for preschool teachers

6. Message to the overwhelmed, burned out teacher
