[WEBINAR] Supporting teachers' self-care and social and emotional learning in young children

In response to the widespread recognition of the importance of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and the lack of robust and comprehensive Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) teacher training curricula on SEL in the Asia-Pacific region, UNESCO Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau for Education (UNESCO Bangkok) with the financial support of the Japanese Funds-in-Trust (JFIT) and in partnership with The Asia-Pacific Regional Network for Early Childhood (ARNEC), have developed the Asia-Pacific ECCE Teacher Training Handbook for Social and Emotional Learning (APETT SEL). This directly responds to the need for contextually relevant and culturally sensitive SEL programming for the Asia-Pacific region, with appropriate teacher training provisions for teachers to effectively deliver SEL in their own environment.
The Handbook is part of the project on ‘Empowering ECCE Teachers with a Transformative Vision of Education’, which aims to empower ECCE teachers to assume active roles in promoting positive social behaviors through social and emotional learning. It is also part of the on-going advocacy and technical assistance effort of UNESCO Bangkok, to strengthen the capacities of education stakeholders in promoting the equity and quality of ECCE across the Asia-Pacific region.
Following the launch of the Asia-Pacific ECCE Teacher Training Handbook for Social and Emotional Learning (APETT SEL) as a side event to the World Conference on ECCE in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, this webinar will introduce the highlighting its key contents of the APETT SEL, and discuss main issues in relation to SEL in ECCE at the Asia and the Pacific level. The focus of the webinar will be on the importance of teachers’ self-care and wellbeing, how to support teachers in building their own SEC and how an aware, prepared, and empowered teacher can create opportunities for children to build SEL competencies.
