This workshop addresses how to create and sustain a robust advisory program in middle and high schools that centers on belonging and equity, and continues to thrive for many years. As we bring our communities back together after the pandemic, this work has never been more important. SEL brings a wide and creative lens to view Advisory and nurture the social and emotional development of our adolescents.
Workshop participants will experience and learn a wide range of tried and tested, creative and collaborative Advisory activities that help to build an Advisee’s SEL skillset; and have space to reflect, renew, and connect with educators from around the country.
This creative and experiential two-day workshop offers educators, administrators, counselors and advisors the opportunity to learn how to build classroom practices and school-wide systems that nurture the social and emotional health of all members of the community. Schools that intentionally activate SEL across the community in this way see wide-ranging benefits for emotional and mental health, a growth in the sense of belonging and community, and positive shifts in mindset, engagement and learning.

IFSEL will comply with all national and local COVID Regulations and these will be monitored regularly for updates.
