10 Activities to Enhance Social-Emotional Literacy in the Classroom: Transform Student Behavior from Chaos to Calm – Lynne Kenney

Imagine a classroom that is calm, well-managed and centered on learning, not behavior management.

Join us for a practical program introducing research-based activities from Dr. Kenney’s most recent works Bloom Your Room and 70 Play Activities To Enhance Thinking, Self-Regulation, Learning and Behavior. Discover simple activities to enhance competence, confidence, communication and collaboration. Get ahead of misbehavior by teaching with the brain in mind!

1. Establish a new social-emotional literacy tool for classrooms called Bloom Your Room, created as a 50-piece art collection with research-based strategies, tools and activities build into it. Kids will enjoy the art, talking about the characters and learning social skills, kindness and empathy without any resistance.
2. Show how to fill your tool-box with words and activities to help your students on a healthy path to good behavior and top-notch learning.
3. Describe exactly what to say to encourage students to be prosocial, kind and caring with one another, allowing you more time to do what you love, teach.
