Online: Green School Summit for School Leaders, Provided by the Center for Green Schools, February 4 - 5
Event Description
Shifting from Crisis Management to Innovation: Leading for a Sustainable Future
Join school and district leaders from around the globe to share strategies for leading toward greener, healthier, and inspiring schools that engage students in meaningful experiences that drive achievement across the board. At this summit, learn from and connect with other leaders from school and school districts, exploring the lessons we have learned from this year of disruptions. Experts will share research and evaluation, and district and school leaders will share practical steps to continue to leverage sustainability in our efforts to innovate for 22nd century learning.
This educational summit is hosted by the Center for Green Schools and the Green Schools National Network.
Over the past year, we have learned the essential role that schools play in the social and economic fabric of our communities. In this session we will explore the unique ways that have emerged to expand face to face learning beyond the classroom.
Session 2: Bridging Justice, Equity and Sustainability in K-12 Schools
COVID 19 has shined a light on the limited access to health services, technology, and resources in the schools and communities serving our black and brown students. In this session, we will explore how equity is at the core of creating a sustainable future and how educators can leverage that knowledge as they plan for meeting the needs of their communities.
Session 3: SEL, Empathic Distress, and Action Competence
School districts are increasingly implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs that may unintentionally contribute to students’ empathic distress, expressed as stress, anxiety, and depression. Action competence, developed through authentic problem-based learning related to sustainability and social justice, may very well serve as protective armor against empathic distress. In this session, learn more about the emerging research connecting SEL with empathic distress and the solutions offered by action competence. Practicing school leaders will share their experiences empowering teachers and students to notice and take responsibility for improving their schools, communities, and world.
