ILLINOIS ONLINE ACADEMY | UPCOMING WORKSHOPS | ADMINISTRATOR ACADEMIES

As your partner in professional learning, the Kane County Regional Office of Education will keep you updated on the latest workshops, academies, and subscriptions available through our office.

Celebrating National SEL Week

We are excited to enter this period from March 3-7 that is dedicated to the impact of social emotional learning on the lives of students, educators, and our communities. SEL in the classroom is essential for children to develop the life skills needed to problem solve and build relationships later in life, and research backs the idea that students can best obtain these skills in a supportive learning environment.

As an SEL Hub, the Kane County ROE is proud to partner with our schools to deliver SEL-based professional learning opportunities and programs. Throughout this week, we will share resources on our social media channels, and you can also find several below.

For starters, click the icons below for Administrator Academy options related to SEL from the Illinois Online Academy.

The Illinois Online Academy also has multiple book studies and asynchronous courses available for PD credits, including:

• The Anxious Generation
• Happiness Advantage
• The Burnout Cure
• Growth Mindset
• Better Conversations

Are you interested in SEL Hub services through the ROE? Whether it’s help with a needs assessment, action planning process, or workshops related to SEL content, we can offer support and resources. Email Jordan Eggleson to learn more.

SEL-related activities can also be found through P.L.A.Y. (Professional Learning and You). You can engage in microlearning via this platform, allowing you to earn .25 PD hours for every 15 minutes you spend completing your chosen activities, including:

• Intro to SEL
• SEL Competencies
• Wellness Tools

• Good Health Practices
• Self-Care for Wellness
• Setting Boundaries

Take control of your professional learning by engaging with the content that matters to you, on your schedule. Click below to find resources to help you get started.

We have curated a playlist covering all SEL topics in our weekly, free classroom strategy series, Branching Out! Whether you're looking to help your students set daily intentions, improve their ability to recollect lessons, or self-regulate emotions to help their focus, chances are, you can find it here.

Thank you for Joining us for Kane County Institute Day

On Friday, we were fortunate to connect with over 1,000 participants at the Q Center in St. Charles, at the Arts Ed Institute at Central High School, and through our host site partner organizations across the county.
