A Worthy Incubator on SEL for Adolescents

Fran Kenton began her career as a middle school teacher and counselor developing an affinity for working with at-risk and special needs populations in both traditional and alternative educational settings. She created a Transition Curriculum, and through her District’s Transition Partnership Project with the California Department of Rehabilitation, she successfully guided special needs high school students through post-high school transitions. Come learn about her research-based approach using the PERMA model and the five broad, interrelated areas of competence as outlined by the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL): self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision making. You'll be glad you did!
