This interactive session bridges the gap between social-emotional learning (SEL) and restorative practices to create a cohesive, human-centered school culture. Participants will move beyond isolated "programs" to explore how these two frameworks work in tandem to foster belonging, equity, and accountability. By aligning CASEL’s systemic SEL competencies with restorative mindsets, educators will learn to build proactive communities that can effectively navigate conflict and repair harm without relying on punitive measures.
