edWeb.net, an award-winning professional learning network and a leader in best practices for virtual professional learning, is now offering a School District Membership. edWeb will help school districts create a private professional learning hub on edWeb.net for communication and collaboration and as a resource for teachers and all staff to have more choice and flexibility in how they earn their PD hours.
In this edWebinar, attendees will learn the five critical elements for early literacy instruction that are part of DVUSD’s vision and are at the heart of its recent successes.
CASEL, The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, defines social and emotional learning (SEL) as the “process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships and make responsible decisions.” SEL can be the underpinning of every action a principal or classroom teacher makes about their campus, classroom or environment for students. According to Jeff Goelitz, Director of Education at HeartMath Institute, during a recent edWebinar, SEL affects everything from systems and structure to climate, culture, and academics. “Everyone” is interested in SEL and buying into the theory and the models but the how can be a daunting challenge as school districts try to make it a priority. Rachelle H. Finck, Coordinator Social and Emotional Learning for Round Rock ISD, TX, remarks that when SEL programs are planned with intention, they become more of a philosophy than a black binder program.
