Day Two | October 29, 2026
When Students Feel Seen: Social-Emotional Learning as a Tool for Inclusion and Empowerment
Presented by Kelly Cleeve, M.Ed., B.Ed., B.A
8:30am – 4:00pm October 29, 2026
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Creating classrooms where every student feels seen, valued, and connected has never been more important. As Canadian classrooms become increasingly diverse, educators are challenged to support students with a wide range of cultural identities, lived experiences, learning needs, and social-emotional strengths. This engaging and interactive workshop explores how social-emotional learning (SEL) can move beyond teaching individual skills to become a powerful framework for fostering belonging, inclusion, and student empowerment.
Grounded in current research and practical classroom experience, participants will examine the connections between social-emotional learning, equity, and student well-being while exploring the barriers that can prevent marginalized and underserved learners from experiencing a true sense of belonging. Through reflective activities, case studies, collaborative discussions, and practical classroom strategies, attendees will discover how relationship-centred, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed approaches can create learning environments where every student is supported to thrive.
Participants will also explore Transformative Social-Emotional Learning (tSEL), critically examine traditional SEL frameworks through an equity lens, and develop practical strategies that honour diverse identities, experiences, and ways of learning. Throughout the day, educators will leave with evidence-informed tools they can immediately apply to strengthen relationships, increase student engagement, and build more inclusive classroom communities.
