Students, families, and educators are facing challenges that have stretched their mental health and made learning and teaching more difficult than ever. Social-emotional learning (SEL) can be a powerful way to alleviate some of the immediate stressors while also providing a framework to create better learning conditions for students. But SEL doesn’t just happen! It takes a coordinated effort from district administrators to classroom teachers and families at home.
The leaders of Jordan School District in Utah have been making the social-emotional wellbeing of their students and staff a priority since before the pandemic started, and the initiatives they’ve put in place have supported students and educators through these disrupted two years.
Join this edWebinar featuring McKinley Withers, Ed.D., Jordan School District Health and Wellness Specialist, and Vicki Robinson, Social Worker and Counselor at Oquirrh Elementary School, as they share about their experiences with planning and implementing social-emotional learning at the district and school levels, with strategic insights and explicit examples of practices you can bring into your own communities. In this edWebinar, you’ll learn:
- Key considerations district and school leaders make when setting SEL goals and evaluating solutions
- How to generate buy-in and proactively address pushback
- What districts and schools are doing to address, support, and strengthen the social-emotional wellbeing of students and educators
- What the future of SEL looks like after a tumultuous two years
This edWebinar will be of interest to school and district leaders of the PreK-12 levels. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
