As a result, education leaders are grappling with what high-quality, systemic social and emotional learning looks like in schools, what the current research says, and what policies will best support students.

This monthly series of thought leadership webinars addresses ten key aspects of high-quality systemic SEL. Join CASEL and collaborators for insights on prioritizing academic, social, and emotional learning for all students across all school contexts.

As the pandemic continues to exacerbate and extend issues in education, topics such as critical race theory and masking have dominated headlines. Yet, polls have shown that issues such as unfinished learning and social and emotional wellbeing, among others, are primary concerns among parents. With billions in federal funding allocated to states, policymakers have an opportunity to include parents at the table to make bold changes in education systems. What do parents really want to see in their schools? How can policymakers and school leaders cut through the headlines to effectively amplify parent and family voices in data-driven decision-making? Join us for a conversation in partnership with the National Parents Union around how education systems can appropriately leverage parent engagement to transform education for the better.

The Covid-19 pandemic shaped the way in which schooling is done in the United States. The pandemic has required teachers to switch to virtual instruction and pivot back and forth between a hybrid or in-person environment. Oftentimes this was done with limited guidance or support from the broader school systems who had to reckon with these large adjustments. Teachers also had to play a multitude of roles while also supporting the mental health and wellness of their students. Thus, this has taken a toll on educators leading to burnout and exodus of talent from school systems especially for teachers of color who already have to bear with other social issues. Thus it is important to take a look at our current systems and resources that can be utilized by policymakers to help alleviate this. This webinar will mainly focus on the importance of educator wellness and the ways in which this can be improved within schools.
