Christo Rey, a Jesuit school in Tacna, welcomed us, provided a tour of their campus, and gave us an opportunity to observe two English classes. My host teacher had a connection at the school that he went to university with there. Being able to observe primary classrooms was important because Peru has a high literacy rate, and I am interested in seeing different levels of instruction. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16WLRpsyda/
Impromptu SEL provided a space for students to ask questions about strategies that worked in our classrooms. My trauma informed training gave me tools they could add in their personal toolbox. Students in every country face anxiety, insecurities, and stress. I am grateful how far we have come to lesson the stigma and shame. SEL is essential.
