This is the second year that NWESD is sponsoring a Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Summit.  The NWESD’s SEL Summit 2020 is a focus on Ruby Payne’s work on emotional poverty.  Ruby Payne’s workshop addresses emotional poverty and how to build emotional wealth in your students.

Specific outcomes for the Emotional Poverty workshop: 

• Provide understandings of origins of anger, anxiety, and avoidance
• Gives a language to talk about brain regulation, integration, and emotional competence
• Provides tools for educators to address and reduce anger, anxiety, and avoidance
• Helps educators manage the “classroom dance” that occurs between the educator and the students

Participants will receive a copy of Ruby Payne’s book Emotional Poverty. Lunch will be served.
