Program: Cayuga-Onondaga Teacher Center

Audience: All educators

Dates: 3/7/2024 to 4/18/2024

Closed
Join Nancy Frey and Doug Fisher in this engaging and interactive, three-part webinar series! Webinar 1: Thurs., March 7, 2024 4:00-5:30 PM ET "Social and Emotional Learning: What, Why, and How" with Nancy Frey. This session makes the case for taking a deliberate approach to the "hidden curriculum" already being taught, presenting a five-part model of SEL that's easy to integrate into everyday content instruction. Webinar 2: Thurs., March 28, 2024 4:00-5:30 PM ET "Emotional and Cognitive Regulation" with Doug Fisher. Teaching students to regulate their emotional lives as well as their learning is an important part of SEL efforts. Students need to learn to recognize their emotions and develop appropriate responses like delayed gratification and impulse control. Over time, and with attention to cognitive regulation, students become assessment-capable learners who take responsibility for their learning. Webinar 3: Thurs., April 18, 2024 4:00-5:30 PM ET "Proactive Approaches to Restorative Practices" with Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey. Restorative practices (RP) are a set of approaches that seeks to build community proactively to prevent problems, and uses dialogue, not just punishment, when problems occur. RPs help create a respectful classroom, develop rapport with students, manage conflicts, establish routines and expectations for positive behavior, and more. However, 80% of RP work is proactive but is often overlooked until there is a crisis. These relationship-building efforts extend SEL and include affective statements, class meetings, circles, and impromptu conversations. This session emphasizes these proactive dimensions of restorative practices. The cost of registration is covered by the Cayuga-Onondaga Teacher Center and everyone will receive the book!
