SEL: Creating Culturally Responsive Safe Spaces Virtually
On Demand Session
More than ever we need to meet the social and emotional needs of our students while also ensuring their language proficiency continues to grow, even virtually. In this session, we will cover culturally responsive ways to build safe spaces virtually that focus on students’ social emotional needs and encourage the use of the target language. Different activities that will be highlighted are mindfulness strategies, brain breaks, collaborative spaces and unintentional moment creators for synchronous and asynchronous learning environments. Together, we can continue to build community in our classrooms, even remotely that is also culturally responsive to meet the needs of all our students.
