Save the Date! MENTAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING SUMMIT

OSBA and other education groups and mental health associations are planning a Mental Heath and Social-Emotional Learning Summit. This free event will be Feb. 25, 2020, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Learning opportunities will be geared for teachers, counselors, school psychologists, board members, administrators and other school staff. Districts are encouraged to bring a team so that staff can attend multiple breakout sessions. The summit also will include a Resource Fair in which agencies can share information on their resources that are available to district staff. Keynote speakers and session topics are being finalized. More information will be available in November, and registration will open in December. https://www.ohioschoolboards.org/mental-health-and-social-emotional-learning-summit Application Deadline for STEM and STEAM Designation Application materials, including a designation rubric and updated application, are posted here .
