“I think personally when students see us modeling SEL concepts, it’s setting the example/precedent. I believe some of the most valuable and memorable experiences for my students is when we are working through projects or an experiment and what I do doesn’t work the first or second (or third or fourth) time. They get to watch how I handle the slight setbacks and see how I work to improve.”
