Professional Development

Many educators find implementing new social-emotional curricula challenging—struggling to integrate materials meaningfully while balancing competing priorities. This workshop transforms that experience, revealing how the Choose Love curriculum isn’t just another program to implement—it’s a comprehensive framework that enhances all aspects of teaching and learning.

This immersive Choose Love Implementation workshop offers a structured approach that moves beyond surface-level understanding to deep integration, addressing the practical realities of classroom implementation. This comprehensive training doesn’t just introduce curriculum; it builds confident, capable Choose Love educators.

Beyond Introduction: Embodied Implementation

Traditional curriculum trainings focus on content overview while neglecting the essential implementation processes. These incomplete approaches create temporary enthusiasm at best, and at worst, they:

• Result in inconsistent or abandoned implementation efforts
• Fail to build teacher confidence and ownership
• Create disconnection between curriculum intentions and classroom realities
• Leave educators feeling overwhelmed by “one more thing”
• Undermine the potential impact of social-emotional learning

This workshop introduces a fundamentally different approach—one that builds implementation capacity through experiential learning, creating sustainable practices that transform school culture.
