This or That SEL: 200 Prompts to Spark Real Conversations in the Classroom
$25.00
What if one question could change how a student sees themselves, or someone else?
In This or That SEL, Dr. Dennis Ibude brings educators a fresh and powerful way to teach Social Emotional Learning (SEL) through 200 thought-provoking “This or That” prompts that spark meaningful reflection, deep connection, and honest conversation.
Each chapter in this four-part guide is rooted in the five core SEL competencies—Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making. Students explore real-life choices in an engaging format, learning how to process emotions, build trust, show empathy, and make decisions that reflect their values.
Whether used as morning check-ins, writing prompts, group discussions, or movement-based activities, these prompts create powerful entry points into emotional growth and leadership. Each chapter includes reflection questions and teacher-ready activity guides that are perfect for advisory periods, homeroom, SEL blocks, or after-school programs.
This is more than a workbook. It’s a relationship-builder. A trust-deepener. A conversation-starter.
Bring SEL to life one choice at a time—because how students think, choose, and reflect can shape not just their classroom behavior, but their entire lives.
