About the event
Please join the California Poets in the Schools' First Friday Community Meeting on Friday, March 5th, 12:00pm-1:30pm. This professional development session will mark the second of a year-long, four-part professional development series, in collaboration with UCLArts & Healing. At this session, Jessica Bianchi EdD, ATR-BC, LMFT (full bio below) will address social emotional arts (SEA) and social emotional learning (SEL) as well as trauma-informed tools and tactics for working with kids.
During this session we will continue where we left off in the Intro to SEL that was offered with Jessica last February, taking the next step towards practical applications. If you missed that session - no worries. Please join us on May 5th.
In a nutshell, social and emotional learning is an educational concept that helps kids gain skills in important areas beyond math, reading, and other core school subjects. SEL helps kids identify their feelings, understand and communicate with others, build strong relationships, and make good, empathetic decisions. Please join us to learn more, and gain practical tools for the arts education classroom.
This event is free and open to the public, geared towards all youth-workers with an interest and emphasis in arts education.
