Upcoming Professional Learning Opportunities

Self Care for Educators - Course #190076 (Virtual)

February 25, March 11, March 24, April 1 - 3:45 pm. - 5:45 p.m.
Register Here
Course participants will be able to define what self-care is, why it is important and how it can impact their personal well-being, family life, student interactions and work with colleagues. Through the completion of the course, participants will be expected to complete self-assessments, develop a self-care implementation plan across multiple domains, implement a self-care plan and reflect on their implementation personally and through group processing.

While there are requirements to pass this course, the hope of the instructors is that educators truly learn to practice self-care. Self-care is something that can be practiced for 30 minutes at one time or practiced several times throughout the day. The instructors want participants to create self-care plans that are manageable and work for them without creating anxiety for due dates and deadlines.

Integrating SEL 101 - Course #189868 (Virtual)

February 11, February 15, February 18, February 22, 3:45 p.m.-5:45 p.m.
Register Here
Participants will become familiar with CASEL's 3 Signature Practices Playbook and use it to begin to develop lessons that integrate Social Emotional Learning into lessons with intention regardless of content. Iowa's Social Emotional Learning Competencies document, along with resources from CASEL will provide foundational knowledge for participants. The practices will be explicitly modeled and the instructional practices of discussion, reflection, guided practice, and independent practice will all be utilized. This course will require active engagement. Research demonstrates that instruction that includes Social Emotional Learning has been shown to increase academic performance, improve attitudes and behaviors toward school, decrease negative behaviors, and reduce emotional stress.

Suicide Risk Assessment Training - Course #180546 (Virtual)

February 23, 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

This workshop will address best practices in school suicide risk assessment procedures. Participants will learn how to conduct a suicide risk assessment. The book Suicide in Schools and related risk assessment documents will be provided, as well as sample procedures from area school districts. Suicide Risk Assessment Training is designed for counselors, special education representatives, school-based interventionists, nurses, or anyone who would be involved in district-level suicide assessment. Team time will be provided to discuss district procedures and role-play, so it is beneficial to register as a district team.
