SEL into Literature with CRLP
Join CA PK-3 educators to the CRLP UCLA and CRLP Statewide Office's Conference: Social Emotional Learning through Literature (SEL) on January 27-28,2023, in San Diego, CA. In a time when the importance of attending to the socio-emotional needs of young students has been accentuated, this timely conference will showcase resources created by CRLP teacher leaders using beautiful children's literature to address socio-emotional learning. The event will begin with a reception Friday afternoon into the evening. The reception will be a time for enjoying light hors-d'oeuvres while networking with professionals from across the state. We will join together that evening to hear from our keynote speaker, Jordan Gillman, author of Mirror Face, as he shares highlights from his book and the connection to our SEL work. On Saturday, we will have breakout sessions facilitated by CRLP teacher leaders, experts in the field of early education, reading brain research, and community support. All sessions will be offered multiple times to allow participants to experience the learning first-hand.
