About this Event

This workshop is the first in a new set.

In this introductory workshop, attendees will explore a framework that is focused on harnessing Social and Emotional Learning efforts on change in practice. Workshop activities will engage participants in examining SEL efforts in the context of both the out-of-school time field’s commitment to Positive Youth Development and the research, resources, and supports driving adoption of SEL practices in staff practices, program management, and continuous quality improvement efforts.

You'll leave this workshop having identified ways to have a greater impact on SEL development of young people, wherever you work with them!
