Agenda Highlights
Our Fall Quarterly meeting featured an interactive presentation about Social and Emotional Learning. We were thrilled to bring Aija Simmons (Program Manager in the department of Social and Emotional Learning at OUSD) to present to our community.
Aija led our group through the basics of SEL and how OUSD approaches SEL, both in-person and virtually. We then unpacked the three signature SEL practices: welcoming rituals, engaging practices, and optimistic closings. Our meeting made great use of breakout rooms as we connected with each other to discuss using these practices in our own contexts for a valuable peer-learning experience.
As our schools and programs continue to serve students virtually, SEL is critical. We are committed to helping our community access these valuable resources for students, and we look forward to future workshop opportunities with Aija in January. Stay tuned to find out how you can joining us!
