Social-Emotional-Behavioral Health (SEBH)

The social-emotional-behavior health (SEBH) of Iowa’s teachers, staff, students, and families are first and foremost in planning for the 2020- 2021 school year. Thinking about supporting SEBH at this time may seem a daunting task; however, the critical focus is securing and enhancing supportive relationships with staff, students, and their families during this crisis. The considerations in this document are in no way an exhaustive list of possible SEBH needs; rather, these are specific additional considerations due to the current COVID-19 crisis that should be noted in any Return-to-Learn Plan. To successfully engage in this work, ensure there is a Social-Emotional-Behavioral Health team established to lead the work in this area as described in Leadership.
