SEL From a Distance: Why SEL Now More than Ever
What is SEL and what it isn't is the focus of the below webinar. SEL isn't another initiative - learn how restorative practices, response to intervention, multi-tiered systems of support are truly under the SEL "umbrella." Video/PD is just about an hour in length.
Our students need social and emotional learning more than ever! How can we determine their needs and where do we begin? This session offers tools and best practice processes for social-emotional learning (SEL) that you can implement immediately in any setting.
Join Teaching Tolerance for a webinar about student mental health—and why it matters. Cohosted by Dr. Charles Barrett, Chair for the National Association of School Psychologists Multicultural Affairs Committee, this webinar will focus on challenges students face regarding mental health, including how those challenges can vary depending on their intersecting identities. We will also share examples of what schools and districts are doing to address these challenges. Finally, you will learn about tools and strategies for your own classroom and school community. Duration: 59 minutes Available On-Demand
In this conversation with Panorama and our partner districts, hear from two social-emotional learning (SEL) leaders starting the school year in a virtual learning environment in Winston-Salem/Forsyth-County Schools (NC) and Peoria Public Schools (IL).
In this session, we’ll spotlight high-leverage strategies that foster SEL and wellness for adults. Many of the strategies are also easily adapted for work with students; however, today’s session will be focused on support for adults. Why? Adult SEL and well-being has a ripple effect on students, and is a key lever for improving student outcomes.
Watch this webinar to:
Become familiar with research-based practices building social-emotional skills and well-being for adults.
Experience adult SEL and wellness strategies personally, and leave with ready resources to model and offer the same strategies to your staff through virtual meetings.
Connect with and learn from others who are navigating this challenging time together.
As district leader Kathy FitzJefferies says, "You can't pour from an empty cup." Just as we reimagine overall supports for students, we must also reimagine our approach to supporting our educators and teammates during this new civil rights movement and a global pandemic.
"Teacher perceptions influence how they engage with students, which is then internalized to what students believe they are capable of. As educators, we are the gatekeepers of the courses they take, the opportunities they can access, and how they feel when they reach those environments. We HAVE to be aware of and address the biases we hold." Rhonda Harris, SEL Coordinator, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
"How can we embrace and support the needs of all students and their families?" At Indianapolis Public Schools, this question has led to authentic dialogue and action around college and career readiness, family engagement, and student sense of belonging as part of the district's Postsecondary Readiness program.
Social Emotional Learning is not just another trend or fad. SEL isn't A thing it's THE THING education is built around.
