Systems to Support Social-Emotional Wellness: Resources to Use in Your Schools

The Regional Education Lab (REL) and the Pennsylvania Dept. of Education (PDE) will share our research-practice partnership's systems approach to supporting social-emotional wellness in Pennsylvania schools. We have engaged partners across the Commonwealth to develop resources that can support educators to understand the landscape of evidence-based social-emotional wellness programs and to use data to inform programming. In this session, we invite you to learn about our systems approach, explore new resources, and apply tools from our resources to consider how you can make social-emotional wellness efforts more evidence-based and cohesive in your state, district, or community contexts. This session is open to all conference attendees but may be especially useful for state, district, school, and other leaders (such as researchers, foundation program leaders, and nonprofit administrators) who are interested in improving students' and educators' social-emotional wellness.

This talk was presented at:
2024 National ESEA Conference
February 2024 in Portland, OR
