Ways of Teaching SEE Lessons in the Classroom
Workshop Approach
We recommend the workshop approach as the best way to introduce SEE lessons and strategies into the classroom. A workshop is a specific lesson, lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. We suggest that you set aside time each week for such a workshop.

Weekly workshops will give you the chance to introduce the whole class to the concepts and give to them practice with skills. The training sessions and the ongoing support you'll receive from staff developers will help you begin to do these workshops.
We recommend the following structure for classroom workshops:

Infusion
Once you have introduced the children to concepts and lessons through the workshops, you can infuse the concepts into other parts of the curriculum and your day. For example, if the children have been learning about stress in their workshops, they might write about ways they dealt with a stressful situation during their writing time or discuss levels of stress they witness in characters in stories they're reading.
Modeling
Modeling refers to how you as the teacher model the concepts and SEE lessons through your own behavior in the classroom. Teachable Moments These are times when an incident occurs (either in the classroom or in the outside world) that provides a golden opportunity to reinforce or illustrate some of the concepts you have been introducing through the workshops. For example, someone might have an emotional outburst as a result of something that happened, and you use that as an opportunity for reinforcing the concept of how calming down first helps us respond to the situation in more appropriate ways.
