How can understanding and integrating Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) impact the way we educate and nurture young minds? Join us as we explore SEL with Dr. Maggie Broderick, Associate Professor in the Teacher Education Department of National University’s Sanford College of Education, where she serves as a Dissertation Chair and Faculty Lead for the Curriculum and Instruction Specialization and the Social Emotional Learning Emphasis. Learn how SEL (Casel 5 framework) can help children manage their emotions, set and achieve goals, empathize with others, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. Dr. Broderick also gives us a sneak peek into her latest book, "Servant Scholarship: Weaving a Lasting Tapestry," where she emphasizes the importance of service and leadership in academia.

Discover the challenges and rewards of incorporating SEL into teacher dispositions, and why empathy, professionalism, and an understanding of diversity are crucial components for educators. Drawing from Maggie's work, Integrating Social Emotional Learning Into the Formative Development of Educator Dispositions, we discuss a holistic approach to evaluating these qualities, and provide practical strategies for different ages. We wrap up with strategies for fostering community and combating isolation in virtual spaces.
