The new school year holds uncertainty for many communities, and our upcoming leadership series will help school administrators, principals, and aspiring leaders build a mindful path forward. We are excited to partner with Sanford Inspire as we offer “Reopening Schools with a Focus on SEL and Equity” at no cost.
Dr. Joseph Johnson, Founding Executive Director of NCUST, and leaders from America’s Best Urban Schools Awards and the Sanford Teacher Awards will share insights to help your leadership team adapt to the unique social, emotional, and safety needs of your school community. Learn how social emotional learning (SEL) can inform your school reopening plan as you acknowledge the trauma and inequity revealed by COVID-19 and ongoing racial injustice. Together, we will look to the future with hope and purpose.
Key Series Objectives:
•Understand the stresses and trauma related to COVID-19, racial injustice, and social unrest.
•Develop skills and capacity for effective, compassionate trauma response.
•Learn to anticipate feedback and lead staff, students, and families with empathy and example.
•Build a team of leaders and draft a unique framework for reopening with a timeline and checklist to organize your action plan.
