SXSW EDU 2021
What Educators Can Learn from Athletes
Description:
In the wake of a year of unprecedented trauma, asking educators to prioritize SEL right now can feel unrealistic. But honing SEL skills like goal-setting and resilience, and understanding student motivation may just be the linchpin to recovery and success. Just ask Olympic and Paralympic athletes whose life work was punted to 2021. Join us for a discussion with educators who are partnering with Olympic and Paralympic athletes to bring a new twist to SEL.
