Overview

Support students' social and emotional development with structured, reflective activities on a shared canvas. This social emotional learning (SEL) template provides educators with a framework for exploring emotions, building self-awareness, practicing empathy, and developing relationship skills — through guided activities students can engage with together or individually.

Key Features

• Emotion check-in section for opening each session
• Self-reflection prompts for individual journaling-style responses
• Empathy-building scenario cards for group discussion
• Personal goals and strengths mapping area
• Visual vocabulary bank of emotion words and icons

How to Use

1. Open the session with the emotion check-in section — students add a sticky note with their current feeling and a brief reason using the Quick Actions widget
2. Work through the reflection prompts together — use the Pen tool to annotate student responses during discussion
3. For empathy activities, present a scenario card and ask students to respond in their assigned zone — compare responses as a group
4. Have students map their personal strengths using the strengths section — add icons from Stickers & Emojis to represent each strength
5. Close with a brief goal-setting moment: students add one intention for the week as a sticky note

Benefits

SEL skills are teachable, but only when students feel safe enough to practice them. A shared visual canvas where everyone contributes equally reduces the pressure of speaking aloud and creates a record of growth over time.
