Approximately 2,000 views have tuned into the NJSBA-hosted Facebook Live Event, held In conjunction with the first International Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Day, on March 27.
The broadcast featured Alisha De Lorenzo, founder and owner of Living YES, LLC, and a former school district SEL coordinator. She discussed how social-emotional learning practices can improve students’ health and well-being–a critical concern during the COVID-19 pandemic. School board members and others who could not join the live broadcast can access the recorded event.
“The current public health crisis underscores the importance of efforts to ensure students’ emotional health and well-being,” said Dr. Lawrence S. Feinsod, NJSBA executive director. “We need to be mindful that students, families and teachers are especially in need of support.”
Scores of school leaders, educators and parents agreed, and more than 200 shared their thoughts with comments during the live event.

Very good points on SEL.
