Social-emotional learning for adults (featuring Crissy Mombela, Lisa Navarra, and Dr. Theresa Melito-Conners)

Most discussions around social-emotional learning are about helping kids stay regulated, healthy, and adjusted, but we can’t forget about the adults. 

Being in any type of role that involves caring for others can be incredibly dysregulating; whether you’re a K-12 professional or a parent. 

That’s why in this episode, I’m highlighting past interview clips with guests that address emotional regulation and self-care in adults. 

In this episode, you’ll hear discussions on:

✅How to teach behavioral expectations in class (and why this can help maintain safety and security among staff and students).

✅How to use co-regulation strategies to manage challenging behaviors such as eloping or property destruction. 

✅Supporting bus drivers, security guards, and other non-teaching school personnel who interact with students. 

✅Administrators think that self-care is important for students and teachers; but are they taking care of themselves?

✅Going beyond fluffy self-care tips (like wine and bubble baths) and creating sustainable habits.

This episode includes clips from the following interviews:
