Bite-Sized Reflections for Social-Emotional Learning

Teachers are worried about the state of children’s social and emotional growth…

Introducing Reflectable, a simple way for early educators to add reflective practice for social and emotional teaching in 10 minutes a week. A recent blog post by Start Early's Chris Sciarrino, Director of Early Childhood Practice and Innovation, describes just how beneficial this new approach can be.

We are currently offering Reflectable for free to select ECE systems that meet the following criteria:  

Have at least 10-60 PreK educator participants  
Use an SEL curriculum and have provided training to educators (e.g. Creative Curriculum, Conscious Discipline, Pyramid Model)
