Social-Emotional Learning and Wellness

You can be an amazing teacher without burning out. Drawing from the latest research and her own teaching experiences, Morgane Michael identifies five easy approaches to reignite your passion and replenish your well-being—reflect, reframe, refocus, reconnect, and reveal.

Many teachers are simply and understandably burning out! The fire and passion that once sparked for teaching are simply becoming extinguished. In this highly-engaging webinar, based on the book by the same title, educators will not only learn how to restore their passion for teaching, they will also explore 12 specific ways to look five to ten years younger, become and remain healthier, and live a longer life! This webinar has been called both personally and professionally life-changing and so much fun!

Join in-demand experts John F. Eller and Tom Hierck for a truly inspirational and informative learning session. John and Tom draw from their personal and professional experiences with trauma to provide insight on how it can impact the lives of students and teachers alike.

If we have learned anything through teaching during this pandemic, it is that the term “behavior” doesn’t simply refer to a disruptive student. The term behavior refers to academic behaviors (skill-based) AND social behaviors (will-based) and both need to be taught and reinforced in every tier of systematic SEL supports at your school. Fostering positive behavior and SEL by utilizing the PLC at Work® and RTI at Work™ processes will boost your school’s positive school culture, increase attendance, improve behavior, prepare students for life, and address inequities in school discipline.

Given the complexity of today’s educational landscape, it might feel as if we have to choose between assessing our students or supporting their social-emotional wellness. However, when we assess with intention and care, and use the results to support intellectual needs while also attending to social and emotional needs, we don’t have to choose!

In this one-hour session, K-12 educators will consider the impact of social-emotional learning (SEL) on students when making instructional decisions. Using the highly effective, research-informed Equity and SEL Integration Framework, you will learn to incorporate impactful, creative strategies to craft experiences focused on preparing students for learning.

Join author Hedreich Nichols to examine the cognitive processes we use to draw a circle around our “in groups,” and learn to mitigate any negative fallout that may impact our practice as educators. While learning about the brain science behind belonging, you will explore a few of more than 180 cognitive biases. This webinar will equip you to use this knowledge to look closely at personal connections and trends that impact student and staff relationships.

Based on the combined works of Dr. Timothy D. Kanold and Dr. Tina H. Boogren and their framework for educator wellness, this inspirational and interactive webinar will help you learn how to live a well-balanced and fully engaged life in order to build a safe, supportive, and collaborative school culture that positively impacts both student achievement and teacher retention.

Utilizing their research-affirmed educator wellness framework, and their most recent book, Educator Wellness, Plan book, and Journal (2023), Boogren, Kanold, and Kullar help educators of all levels and backgrounds learn how to bring their very best selves to their students through the use of routines, invitations, and strategies that have a major impact on living a high energy, well-balanced daily decision-making life using practical tools for success. Come to this webinar ready to have fun, laugh, learn how to live your best life, and be inspired!
