the SEL Video Lesson of the Week is on How to Manage Conflict.

*COVID DISCLAIMER. While we are in the midst of a pandemic, it is important that proper context be applied to this video as well as all of our Lessons For SEL videos. For example, you might use this video and its reflection questions to help students explore how the pandemic has impacted their typical routines. Another example could be to help students reflect on how they had to adapt or modify their personal expectations. Finally, these videos are intended to be a way to begin a conversation with your students or children and have them reflect on a number of different topics.
