Why should we be using our music classrooms to teach SEL? How can SEL be supported through music activities? These are the questions we will be discussing in this session. Over the next hour we will be defining trauma, learning how to support all students with their emotional learning, and trying music activities that explicitly teach SEL in the classroom. Learn how to use music classes to create a pathway for students to understand their emotions and how they can support each other in navigating big feelings. You will leave this session with some ideas that can be immediately implemented in your music rooms.
