SEL Videos
After schools went into the initial phase of distance learning in the spring of 2020, I created short videos for the students of Mabel Rush with social and emotional learning videos. These included a series about self care geared for elementary aged students followed by a variety of topics that continued through the summer break. In the 2020-2021 school year, elementary school counselors produced weekly videos for social emotional learning.
You can find all of the videos created for Mabel Rush students on this page.
