Social Emotional Training

Congratulations! Your campus has decided to focus on research-based skills that improve student success! As a result, your campus will implement a social emotional initiative. Choosing the curriculum is one step – but, alone, it won’t be enough to shape a culture in which social emotional skills will grow in students and staff. There is much more to implementation than purchasing curriculum. This webinar will focus on the most important steps to successful implementation. Next, we’ll analyze why some efforts succeed and others fizzle by turning our attention to the challenges that commonly crop up with any new initiative – and offering solutions to manage them! Space will be held during the webinar to respond directly to participants’ questions.

1. Discuss aspects of school culture that need to be addressed in order to successfully use SEL curriculum.
2. Explain how the curriculum should be implemented to guarantee fidelity and generalization of SEL principles.
3. List ways to share SEL learning with families and caregivers.
4. Analyze areas of potential challenge in implementing a campus-wide SEL initiative.
5. Determine steps to address the challenges of implementation and sustainability.

This free webinar will help examine frequent causes of students’ big behaviors and how to manage them in the classroom. Trainers will put participant questions at the center of the discussion as they share approaches we've personally used to help guide children to a sense of calm and safety.

Below are questions we’d like to consider for the Q&A. Please provide short answers to each in your registration. 

1. What worries you most about big behaviors in your classroom/school?
2. What challenges do you encounter when dealing with big behaviors in your classroom/school?
3. What would you most like to know about big behaviors?

1. Dispel myths around misbehavior
2. Examine how challenging behaviors impact the teacher. 
3. Develop the ability to chase the why
4. Explain how to respond to an activated brain state.
5. Select effective interventions
6. Determine when to seek expert help.

Less than a quarter of surveyed educators report that they would not recommend the teaching field to a colleague (TPT Report, 2022). The pandemic, learning loss, challenging student behavior and the social-political climate have clearly impacted how educators are experiencing their work. Educators have faced significant amounts of grief and loss that have challenged their capacity to sustain and succeed. In this session, we’ll unpack how current stressors have uniquely impacted educators and how they can manage grief in a time of chaos.

1. Describe the sources of grief that educators are currently experiencing.
2. Understand how grief impacts the educator’s space.
3. Learn how to manage grief while doing your job.
4. Understand how to support your fellow educators who are grieving.

Research shows that in-classroom coaching is a powerful tool for impacting a teacher’s skill but few campus professionals claim expertise in social emotional learning. Coaching for Momentum is a multi-day learning session designed to address this gap.

Join our 6-part workshop series on Coaching for Momentum: A Social Emotional Approach to Classroom Coaching. We will work through five categories of awareness to enhance the coach-to-teacher relationship, learning how to deepen the reflective practice of teachers. Ultimately, participants will develop a strong social emotional lens to inform the process of coaching and build a network of collaboration for sustainability.

By learning to coach with an SEL lens, coaches, counselors, principals, assistant principals, school leaders, staff developers, mentors, department chairs and others become better equipped to get traction for momentous outcomes and inspire transformational change and increase their ability to provide strong sustainable support.
