Shifting Mindsets: Prioritizing Relationships & Community with Social Emotional Learning

This highly interactive session will examine the imperative for educators to embrace social-emotional learning (SEL) as a framework, an alternative way of approaching education that connects with a student's emotional level. Participants will engage in opportunities for discussion, skill-building, and reflection. This session provides powerful strategies and resources to implement immediately supporting a way to shift mindsets to positively impact school climate and culture. More than ever we need to commit to creating inclusive teaching and learning environments that meet the social-emotional needs of students and staff.
