Illuminate BlogFree Webinars for Educators: MTSS, Assessment, SEB and More
As the school year kicks off, educators in many districts are grappling with questions around whole child supports and ensuring all students grow throughout the year. For example:
- How can we support the social-emotional behavior (SEB) needs of students as well as academic ones?
- How can we address unfinished learning while moving new learning forward?
- How can we provide much needed relief to teachers through system-level supports?
- How can we use our limited resources in a way that helps meet the needs of all students?
To support this work, we put together a roundup of free webinars for reference throughout the year.
