From Museum to Classroom: New Approaches to Social-Emotional Learning
Wednesday, December 3, 2025
FREE for NAEA members; $49 for nonmembers
Discover how museums can support social–emotional learning (SEL) in your classroom. This webinar highlights a five-unit, art-based SEL curriculum aligned with the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework (a model for applying evidence-based SEL strategies to your community), and explores how museum partnerships can build empathy, reflection, and community. You'll also learn about a self-paced online course that helps educators apply SEL through themes like mindfulness, identity, and agency—complete with practical tools and classroom strategies. Gain fresh ideas and inspiration for integrating SEL into your teaching through the power of art.
