Before adjourning, educators generated a list of next steps for moving the work forward.
- Access the SEL resources (rubric, curriculum, strategies)
- professional learning (workshops, modeling, experiment, coaching, academic alignment)
- ask SEL for clarification about what they look for during the walkthrough
- develop an on-boarding plan for new employees
What might be some actions you take as a result of our learning together today?
