Social-Emotional Learning Sketchnotes

Mindful Practices was the theme of the conference

I attended a two day summit presented by ILASCD on Social-Emotional Learning #SELSummit19. I made sketchnotes of the ideas that I wanted to remember using Keynote on my iPad. What I ended up doing was use one slide per idea. I tried to illustrate it and animate it to enhance the meaning. Then I exported that slide as an animated GIF like this one about the five areas of competencies within social-emotional learning.

I pulled all of the little animated GIFs from each day of the conference into one Keynote slide and set them to play automatically to make my animated sketchnote. It was really the best method I have ever figured out so far for animating my sketchnotes since I have each piece as an individual animation as well. That means I can explain what each animation was intended to mean.

Give everyone a chance to be heard with equal the "air time"

See what it's like to walk in your students shoes by shadowing them

Make connections-quick activity: High 5 as many people in the room as you can

Teach kids about friendship and to appreciate diversity

Trauma informed schools take the ACE (adverse childhood experiences) survey

Classrooms with choice and personalized learning opportunities = SEL practice

Students will not remember the lessons, they will remember how you made them feel

Students need self-regulation to manage stress and emotions before they can learn

Have a clear plan for behavior. Connection w/kids = better behavior

Specific praise is important-including praise for perservering/struggling

Teach children how to listen- eyes on action, open ears, zip your lips, hands in lap

Breathing strategy-calms body and mind and helps students in transitions

Get around to all your students. Let everyone know you're happy they are here

Feeling connected, known, and cared about = better grades and attendance

Visualize while breathing: smell the flowers

Visualize exhale: blowing out the candles

A performance of a collaboratively written, spoken, and choreographed poem

The spoken word workshop was conducted by high school students with volunteers who spent just over two hours writing a poem collaboratively. They decided how to speak it individually, or in unison to support each other as needed. The performance and process was filled with creative choices made in a way the all voices and choices were heard and nurtured. See one example below.
