During this edWebinar, we examine the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics and apply it to the educational setting by aligning it with CASEL’s Social-Emotional Learning Framework. We approach this model through an experiential lens, using a sequence of interactive activities as the practical application of the model, then reflecting on the sequence and mapping the model to the experience participants had during the activities.

The edWebinar ends with reflection, completing the experiential learning cycle. This approach demonstrates the foundations of experiential learning, while offering specific activities and tools educators can use immediately in their practice.

After this session, viewers will be able to:

• List the features of Comfort Zone Theory and the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics
• Apply the models to a sequence of activities
• Use the models when planning and implementing activities in the classroom

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers, school and district leaders, education technology leaders, school counselors, and social workers of the PreK-12 and higher education levels.
