TEACHER INTERRUPTED: LEVERAGING SEL TO SUPPORT SCHOOL COMMUNITY WELLNESS DURING AND AFTER THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

General Session

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14 @ 3:30PM ET

Navigating the compounding trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic require social and emotional learning. SEL can benefit all members of a school community, supporting greater student engagement, social-emotional health, and academic achievement in addition to increased engagement and well-being among educators, school leaders, and families. What have we learned from high-quality SEL implementation and prior crises that can help prepare school communities for what's to come? And what have we learned from the disproportionate experiences of this pandemic in underserved and marginalized communities to chart our way forward? In this talk we will explore examples of how SEL research and practice are being applied to support wellness during this crisis, and identify opportunities for SEL to support the anticipated needs of schools toward the promotion of school community wellness hereafter.
