Training and Access Project (TAP)
Over the past two years, TAP has evaluated and enhanced the trainings to prepare them for this video series. This first online training in the TAP series is called "An Overview of Social Emotional Development: What Can We Expect in the Classroom?" This workshop includes information about social, emotional, and behavioral health in schools and incorporates important concepts such as engaging families, cultural sensitivity, and the impact of social-emotional development in academics and learning. The workshop also highlights strategies and activities that can be easily used in the classroom to promote social-emotional skills. There are additional resources provided upon completion of the workshop. This training consists of a series of six chapters listed below. By the end of the training, the goal is for each participant to have a foundational understanding of social-emotional development and knowledge about implementing strategies to enhance students' skills in their classroom or school.
- Chapter 1: Introduction to Overview of Social-Emotional Development: What to Expect in the Classroom?

- Chapter 3: Introduction to Social-Emotional Development with Different Age Groups
