A New Normal:  SEL Considerations for Re-Opening Schools is sponsored by ISPA and presented by Melissa Reeves.  

The current COVID-19 pandemic has shaken our traditional educational system to its core.  The sudden shift to remote learning has been traumatic for students, staff, and parents.  For many students, adverse childhood experiences such as this can negatively impact their attention, decision-making, and response to stress.  Likewise, the return to in-person learning may also be a difficult adjustment for many.
