How Social Emotional Learning is Supported through the Botvin LifeSkills Training Program (webinar)
Webinar: This webinar is designed to look at the Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST) program (Elementary and Middle school levels) and the outcomes related to CASEL’s five core competencies of social and emotional learning (SEL).
Under the federal education law, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), schools can expand their SEL programs that teach children self-control, to resolve conflicts, and to make responsible decisions and avoid risky behaviors. Research shows that these “soft skills” benefit children for their entire lives and can have a positive impact on schools.
Join us to learn how LST not only supports SEL competencies but also promotes healthy alternatives to risky behavior through activities designed to teach students the necessary skills to resist social (peer) pressures. LST helps students develop greater self-esteem and self-confidence, enables students to effectively cope with anxiety, and enhances their decision-making and problem-solving skills.
Duration: 60 minutes
