Leading with Emotional Intelligence: The Foundation for SEL Success
A Virtual Mini-Workshop on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 from 10:30-12:00 ET.

The findings from SEL field research support the importance of adult learning, and that the development of leadership skills plays an essential role. In this mini-workshop, participants will have a chance to explore emotional intelligence competencies such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management, so that they can create a workplace or personal culture of purpose and engagement.
Social and Emotional Learning Matters: Establishing School Communities Where Adults and Students Thrive

Linking together neuroscience, social emotional learning, and an equity lens, this webinar series will leave participants with a better understanding of self and student behavior and how to maintain communities where adults and students thrive.
