Session description
In this session, we will explore an interdisciplinary approach to education that combines curriculum objectives with Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) goals.

Purpose & objective
Understand the benefits of using PSAs for curriculum and SEL integration.
Learn step-by-step strategies for designing PSA projects.
Explore examples and best practices in PSA creation.
