Description: This webinar will help practitioners and policymakers to better understand how school-based programs can effectively partner with communities and families to support students' social and emotional learning (SEL). The event will provide an overview of a recently published evidence review of SEL interventions, with a specific focus on what the review found related to family and community engagement. A district leader from the Northeast & Islands region will share his district's experience building family and community partnerships to support students' SEL, the challenges they have faced with these partnerships, and lessons learned.
