Leaders are escalating the value of the “whole learner”. It’s not just about academics, it is also about social-emotional skills. In the past few years, we have learned that an SEL program can not simply address a few discrete tasks or mitigate a crisis. The program must be able to address the reactive and be equipped to teach the proactive. It must meet a broad range of needs. This session will enmesh neuroscience and how it impacts student behavior from Kindergarten until the age of 25. It will show how educators can teach students skills and strategies, using Purpose Prep curriculum, that will impact student outcomes in today’s classroom and well into life. This session will empower administrators, counselors, and teachers, as we collectively look for innovative ways to rise to the moment.
