SELF-PACED SBDM SESSIONS…
Social and Emotional Leadership and Learning
The SBDM council’s number one priority is improving student achievement, including removing the barriers that impede achievement. It is well known that emotional barriers interfere with learning, and the pandemic has taken a toll on the well-being of students, families, and professionals.
In this experienced member session, participants will gain specific examples and strategies for:
- Addressing social and emotional needs of students, educators, and families
- leadership and teamwork to build psychological safety
- an environment that responds to the experiences of the pandemic
- Providing meaningful, supportive leadership in your SBDM role
- on the council
- in the school community
- in daily life
Experienced SBDM members will walk away prepared to identify barriers and lead students and the school community forward. Visit our Open Sessions page to register for this as a live Zoom session, or schedule it as an in-person school/district or virtual training by contacting [email protected].

This self-paced, online course explores the same concepts as KASC’s Proven Ways to Increase Achievement except that the focus is on the paraeducator’s role in the classroom. Paraeducators will be involved in activities to deepen their understanding of these research-based factors and will leave with strategies specifically tailored to the roles they play in educating students.
