Now, more than ever, we all need to prioritize social-emotional learning (SEL). The discussion will focus on the skyrocketing demand for supporting students and their teachers in terms of SEL and mental health. The presenters will address the need for trauma-informed practices and best practices in regard to digital citizenship. Additionally, they will speak directly to guidelines for accelerating recovery in terms of the American Rescue Plan ESSER funds.

This edWebinar will be of interest to teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders of all grade levels.
