Join Second Step, Banning High School and El Sereno Middle School to dive into the science of the teenage brain and how you can build a stronger campus culture. You’ll learn how these implementation leaders successfully launched Second Step to fit the needs of their school and leave with actionable strategies to boost attendance, increase connection and decrease behavioral issues with Second Step secondary programs. We'll close with an activity from the program -- get ready to connect!
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, see the program live and determine how they can take these examples back to their own schools.
I believe that quality education begins with a strong understanding of how children learn and the consistent application of student-centered practices. This also means being transformative in the classroom and responsive to student needs.
With over 23 years of dedicated teaching experience, I have become a steadfast advocate for Social Emotional Learning (SEL), particularly in supporting students grappling with trauma.
