Learning Events Registrations

Are you supporting a student or multiple students with behaviors that interfere with their learning or the learning of others? Do you find it challenging to teach Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies when the SEL expectations don’t match how your student(s) show up? If you answered yes, then come join us! The goal of the SNS is to provide adults with the training and resources they need to implement evidence-based improvement strategies to support the growth of students with significantly divergent social and emotional learning needs.

This cohort is designed to support educators in pivoting their strategies to best practices. The majority time spent together during this hour is in discussion. THIS IS NOT a content learning event but a place to come talk out what you have learned in attending or interacting with learning from the SNS learning content. Our goal is to find places to apply the learning, making changes in our practice to better serve students. All are welcome, but please note educational settings are our focus. Also note, you do not need to attend all of the events. Join when you can.

The way our body takes in, interprets and reacts to the world can vary for a variety of reasons. In this training participants will be introduced to this process and possible places students might be experiencing differences that cause unexpected reactions. Staying curious and learning more about a student's perspective and how their body is adapting can support educators and families to be able to support that student be the best them they can be. Through looking at our sensory processing systems and our regulatory systems we can build support to help students navigate the world they are experiencing.

Hidden Curriculum

12:30-2:30

Content Registration

Have you ever not understood a joke or felt lost in an interaction with someone? Understanding the social context around us is a skill set many of us have without much conscious awareness. When our brain does not take in and process social information in the same way as those around us, it can result in a mismatch within our interactions. In this training, we will explore components of how we socially communicate and, when our brain thinks differently, how that can cause social mishaps or mismatched interactions. At times, the social information can be hidden to us; this training supports educators to provide information around social context and interaction.

We encourage you to do your due diligence to determine if these resources are consistent with your district’s vision and mission. They are also not the only resources on these subjects and should not be considered "the best" but a representation of what is available. No resource is perfect and comes with its own lens or purpose. We encourage you to stay curious about any resource or product you use to make sure it supports your current knowledge of a subject. Our access to knowledge about the brain is booming and when we know better we do better, so please use your best judgment of what matches or does not match our knowledge of the best practice.
