This academy will focus on the importance of building resiliency skills in staff and students and
how administrators can drastically improve their culture and climate and put a purposeful plan
together for impacting the social-emotional development of our students through a carefully created environment focusing on a growth mindset, positivity, and gratitude. There is a need to begin to reimplement practices that we were forced to move away from and review the multitude of variables that we must plan proactively to make decisions.


Objective:
Participants will leave with knowledge of the importance of building social-emotional ‘immunity’. This includes ideas for thinking out of the box and breaking the traditional way of doing things. School leaders will be armed with the tools they need to have an immediate impact on the environment by building a sense of community and opportunity for all.
