A Self-Care Summer for Educators

By |2023-05-09T12:32:12-04:00June 30th, 2021|

The importance and benefits of self-care are relevant to every profession, but the act itself can be more stigmatized within caregiving careers. In the education space, for example, there is a common misconception that practicing self-care is a selfish or self-indulgent act, when in reality educators practicing self-care can be in the best interest of everyone in a classroom. Educators frequently put the needs of their students first, while placing their own well-being second. The summer presents an opportunity to restore balance and energy.

exSEL Summer Institute

By |2023-05-09T12:32:12-04:00June 16th, 2021|

During the 2020-21 school year, we brought schools and districts together to collectively navigate the complexities of schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic. While we're thankful to be shifting further away from high alert pandemic status, we know schools are still left trying to figure out how to press the reset button on a collectively traumatizing experience. This year, more than ever, it's critical to start the school year right. Our team has been working to design an experience for educators and school leaders that gives school teams space to thoughtfully collaborate and plan for reopening your doors for the 2021-2022 school year.

Exclusionary Discipline Practices

By |2023-05-09T12:32:14-04:00April 21st, 2021|

"As a parent of two African American boys, I am concerned as we begin to navigate our way back into the school building. I am worried that this new era in education could make my children and other BIPOC children vulnerable to disproportionate school discipline, especially exclusionary discipline. Schools are under increased pressure to keep children and teachers safe, and removing a face mask or breathing on someone could spread sickness; this undoubtedly makes for a more tense learning environment. With new rules in place, it concerns me to think that BIPOC may bear the brunt of these new consequences and be subject to exclusionary discipline practices at higher rates than other students."
