Hey educators! Start the new year off right by joining our free 45-minute upcoming webinar on using diverse books to support social and emotional learning. This free PD offering is perfect for teachers, literacy coaches, administrators, and librarians who are looking to expand their knowledge on social and emotional learning.
LEE & LOW Literacy Specialist Katie Potter will discuss her process behind researching and developing the Social and Emotional Learning Diverse Reading List. We will look at the need for Social and Emotional Learning in the classroom in addition to exemplar texts from the following categories: Empathy, Positive Relationships, Recognizing & Managing Emotions, Problem-Solving, Grit & Perseverance, and Perspective-Taking. We will cover strategies on how to use these texts in the classroom and provide examples of activities to do with students.
At the end of this webinar, you will have concrete strategies you can explore with these books in addition to a downloadable book list.

Thank you for providing mentor texts that will help us grow as writers and authors of compassion and understanding.
I watched the recorded webinar yesterday (Jan. 17)–loved it! However, I did not receive (or see a place to click) to download the list of books from Lee and Low that aligned with the six SEL themes shared by Katie, the Lee and Low Literacy Specialist. Could you please forward them to me or tell me how to fid them?
Many thanks for your assistance –and the for offering the seminar!!
Sincerely
Shelby Salley
