The Role of SEL in Enhancing Literacy Development
At this ILA Webinar held in partnership with CASEL, participants will learn how fostering the full spectrum of students' cognitive, social, and emotional growth is made possible through connecting social-emotional learning (SEL) with literacy development. Join presenters Carol D. Lee and Alessandra E. Ward, authors of CASEL’s recent brief “The Role of SEL in Enhancing Literacy Development,” as they delve into this critical relationship, highlighting how the five core competencies of SEL—self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making—overlap with the practices and processes that readers develop. In addition, neuroscientist Mary Helen Immordino-Yang will present on the interconnectedness of cognitive, social, and emotional development, while Lakeisha Steele will share policy recommendations that promote literacy and SEL integration at both state and federal levels.
Participants will walk away with
- A deeper understanding of how SEL and literacy are intertwined, supported by insights from neuroscience, psychology, and education research
- Insight on how integrating social-emotional learning into classroom instruction and literacy instruction is essential, rather than treating it as a separate, end-of-day activity
- Policy insights to help advocate for stronger SEL and literacy development programs at every level of education
