Making SEL Accessible for Students with Learning Differences

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Learning Ally.
The webinar recording can be accessed here.

In this edWeb podcast, Academy Award-winning film producer and director and SuperDville founder, Peggy Stern, explores how accessible content and hands-on activities are key to ensuring more successful social and emotional learning (SEL) for students with learning differences. SuperDville is a free video-based SEL curriculum for 7-12-year-olds who learn differently. 

Peggy also discusses how peer-to-peer video-based lessons, featuring other kids with learning differences, help address the whole child and buoy self-esteem, resilience, and empathy while cultivating useful self-advocacy tools, particularly in overlooked communities—like Black, Latinx, and EL students—for whom the equity gap is most wide and the need for SEL programming is the greatest. 

This edWeb podcast: 

• Explores why relatability is essential for building self-esteem and belonging
• Emphasizes the need for a community-driven solution to address the needs of kinship and collaboration
• Delves into topics of equity and inclusion that bolster student empowerment

This edWeb podcast is of interest to preK through middle school teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders.
