Leaders across the education world are facing uncharted territory during the COVID-19 crisis. Leading in a time of uncertainty requires dedication, focus, and consistency – the same skills it requires to be an elite athlete. In this edLeader Panel, hear from leaders from both the sport and education worlds to explore practical strategies and foundational research to move forward through reopening school communities. Now more than ever, educators and youth need leaders who are focused on social and emotional development to help youth thrive academically. After a brief overview of the research behind social and emotional learning, this edLeader Panel lifts up and inspire leaders to move forward as school communities are renewed.

This recorded edLeader Panel will be of interest to kindergarten through middle school teachers, librarians, counselors, and school and district leaders.
