Virtual Teacher Workshop - Little Books, Big Feelings: Picture Books and Social Emotional Learning

What stories do we tell to create safe and supportive learning spaces? This workshop, led by Courtney Waring, Director of Education at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, will explore how to use picture books to help young people identify and manage emotions, navigate relationships, and cope with difficult situations. Participants will consider how these books reflect their experiences inside and outside of the classroom and learn emotionally responsive practices for engaging children in shared reading experiences.

This virtual teacher workshop is geared toward early childhood educators. Educators will receive 2 PD credit hours at the conclusion of this workshop. While the workshop is free, registration is required.

This project is supported by PNC Grow Up Great.
