This interactive session explores a transformative approach to Social Emotional Learning (SEL) rooted in the power of micro-communities within classroom settings. Moving beyond traditional SEL models, this framework emphasizes relational connection, cultural responsiveness, and psychological safety through small, intentional peer and adult-student sessions.
Participants will unpack how micro-communities foster belonging, empathy, self-awareness, and resilience, while addressing diverse student needs and contexts. The session will include practical strategies for implementation, examples from international education settings, and time for collaborative planning.
