National-Louis University recently issued the following announcement.
Creating Psychological Safe Schools for Students, Families and Educators
Jan 27 - Jan 27
10:00 AM-11:00 AM
Virtual (Zoom)
When members of a school community feel psychologically safe, educators flourish and learners have opportunities to thrive. Join us on January 27 to hear from proactive principals who successfully assessed their school’s climate, created a framework to coordinate physical and psychological interventions, and implemented transformative systems of support that improved school safety and academic achievement.
In this solution-oriented webinar, we’ll discuss:
- Measuring your community’s psychological safety;
- Planning for equitable and safe learning environments;
- Engaging families and community stakeholders as partners;
- Promoting district-level consistency in policy and equity in funding.
