Turning Challenges into Growth: Using Consequences to Teach Behavior and Foster Social-Emotional Development LIMITED
Wednesday May 28, 2025 10:00am - 11:30am CDT
Room 1313
Teaching is harder than ever, and with all the challenges teachers face, it can feel overwhelming at times. However, consequences can play a key role in teaching appropriate behaviors and promoting social-emotional growth, especially when used thoughtfully. When you approach consequences as an opportunity for learning, it can help students not only understand the impact of their actions but also develop important emotional skills like empathy, self-regulation, and responsibility.
