Attention: State and District Leaders, School Administrators, Educators, Student Support Personnel, Parents, and Education Stakeholders
The U.S. Department of Education is hosting a webinar series to address topics that are on the top of educators’ minds. After sharing federal updates, the series features lessons learned and best practices from faculty, staff, schools, districts, institutions of higher education, and other places of educational instruction. It also shares a variety of useful resources.
On behalf of the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Office of Safe and Supportive Schools, the National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments (NCSSLE) invites you to join our next webinar, Strategies for Student Support Teams to Support Students’ Social, Emotional, Behavioral, and Academic Well-Being and Success.
Wednesday, October 18, 2023
3:00 – 4:30 pm ET
Student support teams play a key role in providing effective student aid and assistance, which includes ensuring educators have the skills and resources they need to best help students. This session is the fifth in the Miniseries on Supporting Students’ Social, Emotional, Behavioral, and Academic Well-Being and Success, with a focus on strategies for student and teacher support teams. The session began with an overview of the important role student support teams play in identifying and assisting students who need additional services, as well as key strategies for success. Then, we heard from a panel of student support team practitioners who will share effective strategies for developing and implementing positive student supports, as well as lessons learned and future directions to support student well-being and success.
