Ep. 114 - Artfully Integrating SEL Into All Subjects, with Elizabeth Peterson
In this episode of the Big Picture Social Emotional Learning Podcast, I share conversation with Elizabeth Peterson, a 3rd grade teacher in the state of New Hampshire.
Our conversation started with Elizabeth’s deeply considered definition of a term with which we’re all familiar: whole child. I wanted to learn her personal perspective, because I feel that how we, as educators, define this term has an impact on how we relate to our students. See if your definition aligns with hers…
Other topics we discussed included the need for teachers who are inspired, and the very real fact that inspiration is not a switch that can be flipped on, BUT it CAN be nurtured in ways that are truly meaningful for significant and enriching benefits in the classroom for students and for us, as well.
We went on to learn about ways in which Elizabeth has explored ways to grow inspiration that are real, and fun, and truly rewarding on many levels using art, even tho she does not consider herself an artist in the common understanding of that word.
