Research has shown that to live meaningful and successful lives, it is no longer sufficient to develop the right skill sets alone. It is about the right mindsets. Mindsets-based social-emotional learning (SEL) leverages the modern understanding of the brain to empower educators to drive higher levels of achievement and happiness for themselves and for their students.

In this two-part edWebinar series, presenters explore mindsets-based SEL from two perspectives: the researcher and the practitioner. They introduce the 7 Mindsets and discuss their personal and professional application.

In part one, presenters review:

  • The importance of SEL and the research that led to mindsets-based SEL
  • An introduction to the 7 Mindsets and a student’s view of their impact
  • Common “counter-mindsets”
  • Three proven strategies to improve your personal and professional success

Part two will focus on the practice—creating a sustainable, positive school culture, successful implementation, and more. Leave inspired, empowered, and with practical strategies to incorporate these 7 Mindsets into your personal life, your school, and your community! PreK-12 school and district leaders, SEL leaders and counselors will benefit from attending this event. There will be time to get your questions answered after the presentation.
