Unpacking SEL and PBIS: Insights from Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.

“Even just the way a teacher talks to a student is modeling social emotional skills. But if you don't think sel is happening in your classroom, it is.”

In this episode of the Arkansas A.W.A.R.E. podcast, hosts Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Stacy Moore break down these concepts with their trademark blend of wit and expertise. The trio dives into how SEL and PBIS work hand-in-hand to create nurturing educational environments that foster student wellness and resilience.

They share personal anecdotes and practical advice, making complex ideas accessible for educators, parents, and anyone invested in mental health within schools.

You'll also learn about the significance of PBIS's evidence-based practices and the need for clear expectations and systems in place.

This conversation is not just informative but also engaging, shedding light on how these frameworks can transform school culture. Tune in to discover how SEL and PBIS can become a way of life in schools, promoting mental health and well-being for all.
