KEEPING THE SPOTLIGHT ON SEL
Throughout this turbulent year, educators have fully embraced the value of prioritizing social-emotional learning (SEL) – for ourselves and our students. Now, the question becomes: How do we maintain a clear, unwavering focus on SEL so that it becomes an integral part of our educational culture? In this session, participants will learn of three factors necessary for creating and sustaining an SEL system, thus transitioning beyond a program and morning meeting. Additionally, attendees will also reflect on and appraise four methods for integrating SEL throughout the learning system.
Join Krista Leh, educator, adjunct professor, and educational consultant specializing in Social-Emotional Learning, who will lead this webinar.
When: June 2, 2021@ 4:30 - 6:00 PM (EDT) Virtual via Zoom
Fee:
NHASCD member: $49 per person
Non-member registration: $65 per person
Teams of 5 or more: 10% discount
Upon completion of the webinar, each registrant will receive access to one of the presenter's online, asynchronous professional learning opportunities, Introduction to Social Emotional Learning.

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT: ELEVATE INTELLECTUAL ENGAGEMENT
Assessments should deliver actionable information to both teacher and student, and traditional formats such as short-answer responses or multiple-choice questions may be limited in their capacity to do so. Performance-based assessments, on the contrary, require increased intellectual engagement and ensure that students must demonstrate their ability to apply their knowledge and skills. Further, they offer an opportunity to measure various competencies and student’s transferability of learning. In this workshop, learn design principles and gain practical implementation strategies for performance assessments to apply in your classroom no matter the grade or subject!
Join Lindsay Prendergast, M.Ed., School Improvement Coach with NWEA, and Framework Specialist with The Danielson Group, who will facilitate this session.
When: September 29, 2021 @ 4:30 - 6:00 PM (EDT) Virtual via Zoom
Fee:
NHASCD member: $49 per person
Register by 7/1/21: $40.00 per person
Non-member: $65 per person

Tackling the Motivation Crisis: How to Activate Student Learning Without Behavior Charts, Pizza Parties, or Other Hard-to-Quit Incentive Systems |
Do we have to do this?” “Is this going to be graded?” “When am I ever going to use this in real life?”
In this active and interactive (and dare I say provocative?) workshop,
- explore the question of motivation in great depth.
- look at common school practices (such as traditional grading, incentive systems, and praise) that are meant to motivate but which actually demotivate.
- explore lots of practical strategies for tapping into students’ intrinsic motivations so that they’ll be more energized and engaged with daily learning.
- walk away from this workshop with a more complete understanding of how motivation actually works as well as many strategies for making learning more motivational for your students.
Presenter: Mike Anderson, ASCD Author
