Session Information

Embed SEL to Meet the Moment

Join a professional development session to discuss how multi-tiered systems of support help schools to build the most effective environment for learners, teachers, families and the entire school community. Many learners have experienced unprecedented levels of autonomy in behavioral expectations, academic learning, and time management. School personnel must create engaging environments, steeped in purpose and belonging, with the ultimate goal of building self-efficacy in academics, social competencies, and self-regulation.

To meet this moment, MTSS facilitators are invited to spend a professional learning session to build evidence-based instructional structures to embed social and emotional learning through engaging classrooms, meaningful relationships, and enhancing collective efficacy.
