There will be a discount for teams of five participants from the same school (if four participants are registered, a fifth participant from that school can register to attend at no additional charge).
Social and emotional competencies are not developed in a vacuum – but through the experiences that students have in classrooms, throughout the school, and in their homes and communities. This workshop is designed to support school-based teams of K-6 educators through a process for implementation of social and emotional learning (SEL) throughout their entire elementary school. Schoolwide SEL is a systemic approach to infusing social and emotional learning into every part of students’ educational experience -- across all classrooms, during all parts of the school day, and in partnership with families and communities. When SEL is developed as an integrated model across curriculum and all aspects of the school community, research shows that SEL becomes a bridge to academic development, resulting in achievement that is at least 11% higher than in schools that do not incorporate SEL. Drawing on the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning’s (CASEL) framework, this workshop will take SEL leadership teams through a process for reflecting on, organizing, implementing, and improving their schoolwide SEL efforts in an intentional and meaningful way. Individual educators as well as school-based teams will profit from this two-day professional development; however, since time will be given during the workshops to apply what they are learning to their own school, participants are encouraged to attend in pairs, if a full team is not available. This two-part series of workshops will address the following topics: how to build strong foundational support for SEL across the school community; key components of successful school-wide SEL; ways to promote SEL school-wide, in the classroom, and through family partnerships; how to begin to build an implementation plan for school-wide SEL; and how to practice continuous improvement in order to drive high-quality school-wide SEL implementation.
