Upcoming Webinar: Tools for Gauging Social-Emotional Learning and School Climate in the Classroom

The U.S. Department of Education’s Education Innovation and Research program (EIR) announces an upcoming webinar featuring grantee organizations in conversation about the tools they use to measure social-emotional learning (SEL). SEL and school climate are increasingly recognized as essential elements of a supportive and healthy learning environment, but they can be difficult to quantify. This webinar will introduce attendees to three tools for gauging SEL, as told by grantees who already use them successfully.

HURRICANE RELIEF

The Comprehensive Centers Program provided supplemental funding to Florida and the Islands Comprehensive Center (FLICC) to support the Puerto Rico Department of Education by providing capacity-building services and developing a system of support for local education agencies. The U.S. Department of Education has also announced $15 million in new federal assistance for 19 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands under the Assistance for Homeless Children and Youth Program. These awards provide funding to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) serving homeless children and youth displaced by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria or the 2017 California wildfires.
