Stop reinventing the wheel and start benefiting from colleagues’ work and sharing your own innovations!

(5) Leading SEL Implementation in Schools (William Trusheim, Donna Black, Vickie Blakeney)
Come and join us for this webinar which covers fundamental theory and practice regarding Social-Emotional Learning, Character Development, and School Culture and Climate at the level of the program, school, or district. A basic understanding of these fundamentals leads to a discussion of important leadership principles and practices that help to engage staff, students, parents, and community in building these life skills into the fabric of the school program. Finally, it is important for leaders in a school or district to understand how to develop a core of followers and distribute both leadership and ownership of the program to others invested in the school’s success.
