Now more than ever, it is important to identify how social and emotional structures can impact a person, and how to develop those relationships. During the workshop, there will also be a live teacher and additional implementation materials for teachers, such as pre-recorded sessions with Peter’s books and engagement strategies. Students will also be able to send a recorded message to Peter, and he can answer any questions they might have.
