ABOUT THE WEBINAR

We are on a journey.
And a Standards-Based Learning System (SBLS) is our destination.

The central purpose of Standards Based Learning (SBL) is to make learning the goal for all students. To do this, we are designing systems and structures that are more personal, more flexible, and more engaging—for educators and students.

Student learning is not solely driven by high-quality academic curriculum and instruction. To accelerate student learning, students need to feel like they belong, be emotionally well, and be supported within a proactive, predictable, and safe environment.

In this session, we will explore strategies and resources for addressing ‘acceleration’ and for integrating social emotional learning (SEL) competencies into disciplinary literacy practices.

“How can we do this better?” is our driver on this journey to excellence.

As we welcome students to the 2021-2022 school year, we are focused on this question with the goal of helping teachers, support staff, families, and students emerge from these unprecedented times and start a new school year stronger than ever and focused on ‘accelerating learning’ for all students.
