Social Emotional Engagement: The Fuel for Learning
Date: October 9, 2018
Time: 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Location: Double Tree by Hilton

The WHAT:
Findings of research in social neuroscience of social emotional engagement foster our ability to create supportive learning environments where social emotional engagement is a “Fuel” for a child’s learning. When school communities gain knowledge of a social and emotional scope and sequence of skills and how to facilitate student growth in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) within classroom lessons, we create a positive school climate that is focused on the success of every student. The Social Emotional Engagement – Knowledge and Skills (SEE-KS) program will be shared as a framework for fostering social emotional engagement, presenting information in multiple ways, and promoting student participation and relationships. Creating a classroom setting and lesson plans with these elements creates a more desirable and predictable environment for our students to learn. Participants will be able to take away strategies for measuring student engagement, designing instruction to address SEL competencies within everyday classroom lessons, and building capacity through teacher-to-teacher mentor-ship.

Alliant Health Solutions is offering training on Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). Mental Health First Aid is the help offered to a person developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate treatment and support are received or until the crisis resolves. Mental Health First Aid has a strong evidence base and is offered in the form of an interactive 8-hour course that presents an overview of mental illness and substance use disorders including depression and anxiety and psychotic disorders. It introduces participants to risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems, builds understanding of their impact, and overviews common treatments. Those who take the 8-hour course to certify as Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step action plan encompassing the skills, resources and knowledge to help an individual in crisis connect with appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-help care. Participants must complete all 8 hours of training in order to receive certification as a Mental Health First Aider.
