Webinar Description

You are invited to an upcoming webinar, sponsored by Satchel Pulse and Transeo, on Wednesday, March 3rd at 11a.m. CST.  Join educational leaders and SEL experts in a round table discussion of best practices to ensure our students are cognitively engaged as we move into 2021 and beyond.

This past year has shed light on the already existing need for a holistic focus on our students and the importance of comprehensively preparing them for life after graduation. We, as educators, are committed to preparing our kids for independence and their next steps in life.

Some of the topics of this conversation will include:

  • How do we know if students have developed the social and emotional competencies to be cognitively ready to learn?
  • How do we know if students are engaged in school?
  • How do we create systems to (re)engage students in school?


After the main discussion, we invite attendees to actively join in smaller breakout rooms led by our panelists for Q&A and a deeper expansion on the topics covered.
