Sep 30: Interactive Relationship Mapping Training for Educators
Join us Wednesday, September 30 from 3-4pm ET for our free interactive training: “Relationship-Mapping: Connecting to students during social distancing and beyond.” This webinar will be the first installment of a new, free program for schools focused on building caring relationships and inclusive communities during the global pandemic. We'll announce more details in early October.
Ensuring that every student has a positive relationship with at least one school adult is more important – and harder – than ever.
Whether students are learning at a distance or in a traditional setting, a positive connection to at least one school adult — whether a teacher, counselor, sports coach, or other school staff member — can have tremendous benefits that include increased engagement, reduced bullying, and improved social emotional capacities.
In this training, you'll learn how to map the relationships between school adults and students. We'll discuss the following during our time together:
How to easily collect and analyze data about adult and student relationships at your school
How to pair students with supportive adult mentors within the school
How to create a community of mentors that routinely engage and build relationships with students in particular need
We look forward to sharing evidence-based best practices and hearing what has worked in your school community.
