The partnerships and collaboration between schools and families are crucial for student success. Our webinar series was developed with the goal of empowering parents and caregivers with information, strategies and connection in order to ease some of the stresses of raising a child in today's world. The Parents as Partners Webinar Series is being offered for the third year in a row, but this year we have made some exciting changes! We have brought back some of the most popular topics from previous years, but there are also several new topics and five additional presenters, all of whom bring a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience to share with families. Many districts have used the series to meet the ESSA requirement to connect with families, and our goal is to make this a seamless process. We have done all of the planning and legwork... all you need to do is let us know you'd like to participate, and we will do the rest!
Post-pandemic, most students' cognitive, social and emotional skills are far behind where they need to be in order to successfully meet academic expectations and social demands. The negative consequences of these lagging skills range from higher rates of anxiety and depression, social isolation and loneliness, a lack of engagement in school, and a backward slide academically. This webinar series is designed to provide educators with specific strategies, steps, and resources to build the skills that serve as the foundation for success in school and in life. All live webinars will take place from 3:45-4:45pm EST and recordings will be available for 30 days following the live webinars.
We are facing a mental health epidemic for children and teens in this country, and trauma is a major contributor. Schools are on the front lines as record numbers of children are coming to school with anxiety disorders, depression, adjustment disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder, among other things. This Trauma Series was designed to support educators by providing them with knowledge, tools, strategies and resources to effectively cope with and manage these extraordinary challenges. The series consists of six pre-recorded, one-hour webinars.
Learning can only happen when students feel safe and regulated. When a student doesn’t yet have the ability to regulate, it falls on the adult to remain regulated and guide that student back to a calmer state (co-regulation). This is not easy to do, and the proactive work becomes first about the teachers’ needs. With this pre-recorded webinar series, we aim to equip educators with tools, strategies, and habits that will allow them to care for themselves and restore balance and wellness in their lives.
