In this session, we will be exploring strategies for prosocial leaders who model best practices in social emotional wellness and ensure that all school stakeholders feel safe, cared for, respected and valued.
Modes of Learning
The session was designed to be delivered virtually over your platform of choice. It is recommended to choose a platform that has breakout room capabilities for participants to engage in smaller, rich, group dialogue.
This is the fifth unit of a six-part e-learning series with each three-hour unit being delivered in synchronous sessions.
