Description
Description
As we transition back to school—online, in-person, or hybrid— leaders in education must find strategies to inspire hope and leverage positive change to confront the adversities we have faced. Many families and their children continue to experience high levels of anxiety, depression, trauma, and fear. During this session, the presenters will provide a Social Emotional Learning framework for cultivating skills and environments that advance students’ learning and development. The presentation will also examine approaches that include a trauma-informed, equitable, and compassionate lens to providing mental health support to every member of the school community. Because we all are returning to school as different people than when we left, caring leaders seek to support each other in turning our tragedies into growth, recognizing the joys amongst the ongoing and profound difficulties, and re-establishing school communities to serve everyone, with greater justice and equity.
Key Objectives:
1. Define Social and Emotional Learning, it is not an add on!
2. Introduce the SEL framework from CASEL
3. Introduce strategies for implementation and curricular resources to support educators
and school staff.
