Helping Students Develop Positive Social Relationships

The recording of this webinar is available in the Professional Development library, under Learning and Wellbeing.

Until recently it was believed that when students do well at school, it makes them feel good. It is now thought this is the other way around; that is, when students feel good, they have the motivation to do well. In this webinar we will explore five major areas of social emotional well-being that can help students manage their emotions, establish positive social relationships and learn more effectively through: 
•    self-awareness
•    self- management
•    social awareness
•    relationship skills
•    decision making skills.
