Friendzy Social and Emotional Learning For Educators
SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING FOR EDUCATORS
Friendzy’s professional development resources for educators are designed to equip, engage and inspire school leaders; Paving the way for successful implementation of social and emotional learning in the classroom.
Social-emotional learning is for teachers, too!
Social-emotional learning in schools is most effective when teachers are invested in the program competencies on a personal level. The best teachers are learners first and then role models for their students.
With social-emotional learning both teachers and students experience less anxiety, aggression, and frustration and are generally happier and more attentive. Teachers report that social and emotional learning helps them be more positive, organized, and responsive to their students.
That’s why Friendzy provides schools with a robust Professional Development program for teachers and administrators to support all educators with critical social and emotional learning skills that will benefit them personally and positively impact their students, families, and entire school community.
