This session explores how Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is naturally embedded in the visual arts through making and reflection. Teachers will experience simple creative activities that show how choice, routine, and reflection support student well-being, identity, and belonging. They will leave with practical strategies for integrating SEL into everyday art instruction, including warm-ups, routines, and reflection prompts.
