As districts and educators prepare for instruction in the fall, relationships are critical to student success both inside and outside of the classroom. At this virtual briefing, presenters shared examples of effective student-centered approaches being used in schools, focusing on the social, emotional, and mental health of students. They also discussed mentoring to develop social and emotional learning skills and how districts can utilize federal COVID-19 relief funds to meet short-term needs, accelerate learning, and develop relationship-centered schools.
