Stories. Whether about a child having a bad day or making a new friend, stories tell us about how people experience emotions and how they learn to get along. Everyone agrees that social and emotional competencies are crucial to life-long success and well-being. In this workshop, we will explore the power of picture books to support students with developing their social-emotional skills. Attendees will be provided with concrete examples of how to take part in helping students and teachers with the development of these skills. We will be diving into some of my top picks in regard to nurturing social –emotional skills in young learners and discuss what makes these books particularly meaningful for these competencies. Our school library can be a valuable resource to promote and ease social and emotional learning for both teachers and students. Librarians can play a significant role in a student’s life.
