The collection of children’s books by Dr. Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) holds a special place in the childhood and adulthood of many educators. In this hybrid book discussion, participants will (re-)read a selection of these classics considering a different competency of social and emotional learning for each: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Reading one book for each component, participants will take a deeper dive into the books as they complete a guided reflection and planning tool through PEARL. This tool will help facilitate a LIVE group discussion on Zoom through PEARL focused on how the different books can be used with students of all ages to teach social and emotional skills through literature and art.
