# Event Details - **Event Name**: Whole Community Approach Workshop - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 am – Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 03:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Designing Systems for Connection, Belonging, & Growth Two-Day Workshop for Teachers, Specialists, and Leaders (K-12)About this EventStudents thrive when Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) moves beyond lessons and curriculum to live in all of the people, practices, and relationships that define their daily experience of school.When SEL becomes a shared language and daily practice across classrooms, staff meetings, playgrounds, and family partnerships, it transforms not only student outcomes but the culture of the whole school. This is SEL for every student, every adult, every day. IFSEL’s experiential two-day workshop invites K–12 educators, counselors, and administrators to move SEL beyond an initiative and toward a living, breathing approach. From curriculum to school-wide systems, and from educator wellbeing to connections with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we’ll explore all the dimensions of IFSEL's Whole Community Approach. You’ll leave with curriculum resources, implementation guides, and practical tools to make SEL a sustainable, authentic, and transformative force across your entire school.Through a series of practical and engaging break-out sessions, participants will:Explore pedagogical practices and curriculum resources for direct SEL instruction in elementary classrooms (including through Morning Meeting) or in Advisory Programs.Experience approaches to integrate SEL into all teaching and learning.Action plan strategies to deepen alignment of school systems and structures with your vision for SEL.Consider approaches to build authentic SEL partnership with parents and caregivers.Explore the importance of SEL-aligned Responsive and Restorative Practices.This workshop is rooted in IFSEL’s Whole-Community Framework for Equity-Rooted SEL (Haisman-Smith, N. 2025. “Building and Sustaining a Whole-Community Approach to Equity-Rooted SEL.” In Social-Emotional Learning: Strategies, Development and Educational Impact, edited by S. Riley Ordu, 105–124. New York: Nova Science Publishers).‍‍Join us for a workshop that offers practical strategies, reflective practices, and inspiring case studies that support schools in creating inclusive, emotionally intelligent communities where every student and adult can thrive.Workshop Goals:Explore the ‘what, why, and how’ of IFSEL’s Whole-Community Framework, and discover how it can be applied across diverse school contextsEngage in experiential SEL practices tailored to different age groups — from early childhood through high schoolExamine effective SEL systems and structures, including lower school integration and advisory/mentoring models in middle and high schoolDiscover approaches for curriculum-wide integration, activating SEL across academic subjects and daily routinesReflect and recharge, with dedicated space for professional growth and personal renewalAudience:Principals and Division HeadsK-12 EducatorsCounselorsSEL CoordinatorsDeans of Students, Grade Level DeansMembers of a Student Service TeamSchool Social WorkersCurriculum CoordinatorsDirectors of LearningWhat's included:A comprehensive digital binder of resources, materials and lesson plansConnection with other educatorsLunch, and plenty of snacksMore information about this workshop can be found on our website:Cancellation PolicyRegistration fees will be refunded at 50% of the registration ticket price paid, less the $50 refund processing cost, if requested in writing more than two-weeks prior to the start of the course.
