Supporting Students' Social-Emotional Learning in a Virtual Classroom

NIET Senior Specialist Laura Tew shares strategies for intentionally planning for and incorporating social-emotional learning into a virtual classroom. What experience and practices can you draw from a face-to-face classroom? Tew outlines four key practices that reinforce social awareness and relationship skills, all to create a respectful culture: co-constructing classroom norms, creating digital moments, calling students by name, and framing conversations with sentence starters that recognize varying viewpoints.
