Creative Expression as a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Tool

Learn the benefits of creative expression as a tool for building social emotional learning (SEL) skills in K-12 children.There is a lack of SEL interventions that are easily integrated into the multi-tiered system of supports, particularly those that meet the needs of those who are eligible for Tier 2 and 3 emotional supports. And yet, children continue to face trauma and adversity and come to school unable to focus on academics because their emotional needs are largely unmet. Creative expression is a low-cost and low-barrier intervention that helps children name and manage their emotions, develop strategies for coping with adversity, and build resilience.
