'24 MSAA Summer Institute

Adolescence can be hard. School can be hard. Life can be hard. And that was true even before the many challenges we have all faced in the last three years. The Parker faculty has been working on deliberate, research-driven strategies that support students in persevering in the face of challenge and the discomfort it brings. This workshop will focus on how teachers develop and leverage relationships with students to support the development of coping and perseverance skills. We will showcase how SEL principles inform system, classroom, and student work. Participants will leave with strategies to employ in their classroom when students are dysregulated and struggling.
