Social-Emotional Learning (Part 2): Strengthening Adult Capacity Through Teacher and Staff Voice

In the second workshop in the Building Better from Disruption Series, participants gathered to hear from school leaders that are implementing innovative strategies that capture and utilize the teacher and staff voice to create positive and equitable learning environments.

 

When considering the concept of gathering authentic student voice and input realize that in the long run it is a net benefit.  Even if it is difficult to hear or guided by incomplete information, it will inform your decisions and point you to areas of need.  Remember, they are often having these conversations whether you hear it or not.
