Using SEL and Intentional Read-Alouds to Promote DEI Grades PreK-2

This online course for teachers provides the perfect approach to combining students’ SEL skills with high-quality read-alouds to help students deal with a variety of diverse issues at the PreK-2 level. The online professional development course begins by helping teachers recognize the diversity within their own classrooms so that both academic and behavioral benefits can be acknowledged and nurtured. Teachers will learn how DEI connects to social-emotional learning, and they will explore how these two best practices work in tandem to promote equity within the classroom. Teachers will then take a deep dive into the inner workings of intentional read-alouds, and they will explore how to use this incredible tool to foster an inclusive and supportive classroom community. Throughout this course, teachers will learn how to select authentic literature for their intentional read-alouds to celebrate diversity and validate students, all while connecting to the standards and supporting students’ social-emotional skills. Thorough examples of how intentional read-alouds can be incorporated into the curriculum are provided throughout the course.
