This joint webinar features three free lessons from the Social Thinking Methodology hosted on the Seesaw interactive learning platform. The 60-min webinar provides an overview of foundational lessons found in two Social Thinking curriculum series, You Are a Social Detective and the We Thinkers! Curriculum. Author Pamela Crooke and Social Thinking Founder Michelle Garcia Winner introduce attendees to the concepts and teaching in each lesson and Larissa Hsia-Wong, Lead Curriculum Developer for Seesaw, provides a demo of how the lessons come to life on their interactive platform. What better way to blend theory and teaching, and it’s free.

It’s human nature to want to help others, but it’s often difficult for people to ask for help, especially those with social, emotional, and academic learning differences. In this webinar, we’ll discuss why children, students, and adults may resist help or refuse to ask for it and we’ll deconstruct the multi-step process through which we ask for help. We’ll also explore the social emotional benefits for all participating in this unique and rewarding relationship.

This strategy-filled course delves into crucial aspects of building social competencies in preschool and early elementary-age students (ages 4-7). Explore how flexible thinking, social language, self-regulation, and social and emotional development are vital for developing collaborative interactions in group settings, both on the playground and in the classroom. Gain insights from a research perspective on the impact of executive functioning, social attention, and social problem solving through the lens of our award-winning We Thinkers! curriculum series. Walk away with practical strategies and examples to seamlessly integrate social learning concepts into your existing teaching methods.

Parents and caregivers are always asking about how to teach and support self-regulation. In this course designed specifically for parents and caregivers, we’ll talk about the ways the social mind can support social thinking and self-regulation for early learners. We will cover practical strategies including how we can use stories, activities, and play to build self-regulation; how to teach children to better understand their own and others’ thoughts and feelings, and the plan of the group and their role within it. Please note: this course is not eligible for Continuing Education.
