Webs of Support: An Ecological Approach to Prevention
March 10, 2020 | 10:15-11:30 a.m.
Participants will gain new understanding of how brain science, relationships, and protective factors interact in mitigating adverse childhood experiences and in a student's social-emotional development. When adults see students through a strengths-based lens, growth happens and lives change. Discover a research-based framework and promising practices being used in U.S. and Canadian schools to empower students in re-imagining their stories.

Building Rockets: Blueprints for the Thriving Classroom
March 10, 2020 | 1:00-2:15 p.m.
Put brain-based research into practice—it’s not rocket science! Through this session, educators can ensure meeting academic standards while valuing relationships to launch and grow thriving classroom ecosystems. In this session, new and re-imagined tools, strategies, and skills will emerge through active learning and conversation. Participants will get to create their own blueprint to equip them for meeting their individual and classroom goals.
