Even before the pandemic, educators were concerned about the heightened levels of anxiety and depression among students, and sadly, those numbers have only risen higher.  In addition to the typical stressors associated with school and life, COVID-related stressors like social isolation, loneliness, loss of income and/or loved ones, and global stressors such as school shootings, political unrest, and the war in Ukraine have added additional trauma to our students and families. During this time of stress within schools, it is crucial that educators are provided with strategies and tools they can immediately put in place to help the students they work with on a daily basis as well as themselves!

This conference will explore the “HOW” of Social and Emotional Learning.  Participants will hear from experts within the field of education on “how” they implement SEL within classrooms and schools around the country.
