How are you feeling? How would you like to feel? Have you been riding a rollercoaster ride of emotions over the last year?

As leaders in our schools, we must take care of our own well-being so that we can both show up as our best selves for our colleagues and students and preserve our own mental and physical health. In this workshop, Dr. Brackett will share research-based strategies to help school leaders (1) manage their own emotions and (2) support educators in building culturally responsive approaches in managing their own and their students’ emotions. In addition, Dr. Brackett will describe recent large-scale studies on the emotional lives of children and adults, including the implications for leading, teaching, and learning. Participants will learn about the systemic, evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning developed at Yale that has been adopted by over 3,000 schools across the globe.

Join us for a powerful day of learning on this timely topic! Obtain the tools you can immediately apply to developing your own emotional intelligence in order to enhance your personal and professional success and systemic change in your school.
