In 2021, we began visioning how the FirstHand program could best incorporate evidence-based SEL (Social Emotional Learning) strategies to support student growth. In this discussion, we will detail our successes in implementing SEL activities, and speak about the positive student outcomes when combined with STEM learning. Recent, relevant feedback gathered from student focus groups will be shared, including student quotes that describe the FirstHand Lab as a safe place where students are free to be themselves and how the program sparks an interest in science that students may not have known was there.\r\n\r\nWhile learning about FirstHand SEL practices, including Brave Spaces, session attendees will have the opportunity to experience activities themselves and discuss how these strategies could be best implemented in the context of their own classroom.","Link":["https:\/\/sciencecenter.org\/programs\/firsthand"],"Audience":["High School","Middle School"],"Practice":"Participants will join us for a Brave Spaces conversation to discuss a student-created question related to building positive teacher-student relationships.
