D75-23-172: SEL Through a Drawing a Day
Arts, Early Childhood, Literacy 2023/2024

Description: Are you looking for a way to introduce or teach SEL concepts to your students? Join us for this yearlong program where we provide a day-to-day framework for teaching SEL skills over time and all of the supplies your students will need! This PD is designed for classroom teachers and will provide an introduction to the program in a full-day and in-person professional development at MoMA. Following that, we will have bi-monthly, 1-hour PLC meetings over zoom to help foster a community and exchange between teachers participating in this project. Sketching enhances creativity, strengthens focus and strategic thinking, develops communication skills, and supports coordination and fine motor growth. Sketching also gives time to reflect and express one's own thoughts and ideas. Through this PD we will learn how sketching can be combined with SEL concepts to focus on identification of self, identification of emotions, and student reflection. We will also incorporate arts-based discussion strategies to increase communication and student conversations/interactions with peers.
