Educators have a duty to establish an even playing field so that all students have opportunities to maximize their learning potential. Social emotional learning is a vehicle for creating equity in our classrooms and schools. This webinar describes how the socioeconomically diverse Ecoff Elementary School in Chesterfield, Virginia, has leveraged school success with the school-wide implementation of an embedded SEL curriculum. Dr. Joshua Cole, Principal, offers details about a transformational change that has increased student achievement, decreased student suspensions, and increased teacher satisfaction and success.
This webinar was offered in partnership with Literacy Organizational Capacity Initiative (LOCI). LOCI works with schools and districts to build their internal capacity for growth in literacy teaching and learning. LOCI’s work focuses on developing research-tested literacy strategies and the organizational capacity assets needed to sustain them.
