For the first time since 2019, the SEL Exchange is back in person! Join researchers, policy leaders, educators, and members of the SEL community as we explore the latest SEL innovations and evidence, with a focus on the importance of advancing adult SEL that promotes SEL for young people. Hosted by CASEL, the Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) Exchange is the nation’s largest forum on SEL. It is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect and learn with leaders from around the world.

The theme for 2023 is “Leaders as Learners: Building the Village Our Children Need.” When adults and students alike have meaningful, inclusive opportunities to learn and develop social and emotional skills, we build a village where everyone thrives.

Black SEL Summit looks to reach, teach and build a system of strong black leaders that understand the importance of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and ways to expose and sustain SEL in black communities. We look forward to you joining us this year to “SAY IT LOUD.”

Proceeds generated from ticket sales will help build the capacity for Dangers of the Mind’s Education Fund. Please keep in mind the work that we do and how your contribution will help when purchasing tickets.

Understanding the complexities of Black and Brown students is the first step in understanding the most effective way to teach them. Teachers who disregard the impact or historical context of race on Black children’s schooling experiences, resources, communities, and parent interactions will do harm to their academic experience.

Join for a day centered around Social Emotional Learning! Building an SEL Nation – The 6th annual Urban Assembly Social Emotional Learning Symposium is presented by Teach Us and UMass Global, with special thanks to the Carnegie Foundation.

The 2023 SEL Symposium will be a day filled with experts from across the country engaging in fireside chats, offering workshops, and participating in panels.

Today, school communities face unique threats to their security, ranging from targeted violence (including bomb threats) to cyber security threats to in-house school threats. For educators, preparing for these threats is essential, particularly through school safety drills and de-escalation strategies to address dangerous students and possible intruders on campus. But still, all aspects of this are traumatic, causing extreme distress and fear for children and adults alike.

This presentation will address true potential threats and real-life situations. Join a panel of experts: Dr. Terri M. Pieretti, Dr. Saul Lankster, Dr. Clara Amador-Lankster, Amara Watson-Lankster, Hayato Yuuki and will include Ryan E. Demmon, a representative from the FBI. The panel will examine proactive safe-school strategies and dig into the complexity of active school shootings and mass shootings and discuss impact that these have on schools and society. The panelists will also weigh in on the roles that school culture and relationships play in school safety. Discussion on the effects of the dark web and school safety will include data addressing the root causes of crimes against children.

Finding Common Ground is our theme for the 2023 NSEL Conference, with the goal of bringing together diverse perspectives to work collaboratively to foster safe and supportive environments that support academic success and meaningful engagement for all students.
