Class Experience
Creative Connections: SEL Through Contemporary Art with the ArtReach Learning Portal
In this hands-on professional development workshop, educators will learn two creative projects, based on contemporary art practices, that integrate Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Participants will explore how these art forms can encourage self-expression, emotional processing, and social connection in the classroom. The session will also introduce the ArtReach Learning Portal, offering resources and tools to support SEL-focused art education. Educators will leave with ready-to-implement projects and access to a rich digital platform for continued learning and inspiration.

Sierra is the best! She has designed outstanding curriculum that is immediately applicable to the classroom, and I would venture to say, beyond. I have take 3 of the professional development workshops so far and hope to complete the series in the coming months.
