Supporting the Social-Emotional Well Being of Your School Community: A series sharing a proactive approach to embodying individual well-being, social connection, and 21-century school transformation.

Join us on Thursday afternoons beginning April 2nd for a 4-part proactive conversation on supporting your social-emotional wellbeing as you carry on your transformational work during these challenging times and beyond. The conversation will be co-facilitated by Subtle Distinctions, LINC’s holistic wellness and executive and individual coaching partners, as well as a thoughtful LINCspring Transformation Agent.

In this open forum for school leaders, we’ll discuss the issues, stressors, and strategies emerging as you lead schools during the COVID-19 outbreak and beyond. Topics will include:

• Developing new levels of mind states, body awareness and vitality (in order to be more available to our communities and stakeholders in the educational process)

• Engaging with practical tools to begin making who you are, and what you are connected to, better and healthier each day

• Deepening an understanding of self-awareness & performance (especially in this trying time)

• Ensuring that all members of the community feel cared for, including teachers, students, and families

• Building teacher capacity for remote learning

• Creating an environment of safety and trust

Supporting a Rapid Transition to Remote Learning

Join us on Thursday afternoon at 4:30 pm EST for a free Zoom meeting on supporting effective remote learning to maintain student learning. LINC is working closely with leaders making this urgent and unprecedented transition. 

During the hour, Jason Green, Tiffany Wycoff, and other LINC experts will share our 1-2-3 step process to guide your path forward. We’ll also share lessons learned from LINC districts making that same shift with you. 

Discover our 3-step process:

1. Readiness Assessment. We will review the Remote Learning Implementation Assessment developed by LINC experts which can be used to survey principals on the implementation at the schools level or by principals to survey the teachers on their sense of implementation/preparedness. 
2. Leader Planning and Preparation. We will present the  LINC Template for School Closure and Distance Learning Plan, which supports planning and communications for school leaders. 
3. Teacher Development via LINCspring Remote Learning Playlist and On-Demand Coaching. We will conduct a brief demo of our LINCspring platform for building teacher capacity to deliver engaging remote learning. 

Thursday, April 2nd at 4:30pm EST.

Whether you’re transitioning to teaching and learning virtually, or you’ve been doing it for a long time, this session will challenge you to design revolutionary and innovative learning experiences in Google Classroom (or any LMS).
