This is a very informative platform with useful tips and tools for getting a better learning on child behavior and development.
I value SEL's emphasis on inclusiveness and equity. I am excited to put the insightful information and useful tactics that this course has taught me into practice. I appreciate the thorough and well-considered content you provided.
I really enjoyed this training and am excited to bring new fresh ideas to my program.
I liked that the informational videos were directly related to the topics and in a preferred length of time that did not bore me out. In addition, I enjoyed seeing colleagues and students in action and strategies used in the classroom.
I really enjoyed this training and it really did make me feel more prepared to help my students get more engaged.
I would highly recommend this course. I learned a lot and have a better understanding of how others could feel based on their lived experiences.
This was perfect! I also appreciate the three minute breathing exercise that you guys included for the learners. It was very helpful because these topics are heavy and it’s important to always take a moment to collect ourselves for this training.
