Unpacking SEL

LAIRP’s approach to unpacking SEL centers on understanding the emotional, relational, and neurobiological foundations of student behavior. Rather than treating SEL as a set of isolated lessons, LAIRP helps educators recognize SEL as an everyday practice woven into routines, interactions, and classroom culture. The training focuses on core right-brain principles—connection, co-regulation, and relational safety—while examining how emotions and stress responses shape learning and decision-making. Educators learn practical strategies for modeling emotional awareness, building trust, and guiding students through reflection and self-regulation. Through circles, discussion protocols, and restorative tools, SEL becomes a living process that supports character development, resilience, and positive relationships. LAIRP’s approach empowers schools to integrate SEL into systems that nurture whole-child growth.
