The COVID-19 pandemic has created countless challenges for our schools and communities. It is more important than ever for teachers to understand the needs of students and communicate effectively with families because of these challenges and the shift in many communities to remote and hybrid instructional settings. In collaboration with the National School Boards Association, this presentation will focus on the role that mental health supports play in the social-emotional development of students during remote and hybrid instruction. It will also offer tools teachers and families need to communicate successfully with each other while in these settings.

Join this free, 60-minute webinar where we will discuss:

• How do mental health needs of students show up in remote and hybrid learning?
• Why must we respond to those needs in ways that support positive social-emotional development?
• What are the tools of productive communication that can be used between teachers and families to identify and meet the mental health needs of students, whether in classrooms or virtual learning?
• What steps can we take to implement the necessary language and tools that support effective communication between teachers and families as it relates to student mental health, social emotional learning, and remote/hybrid learning?
