It has been a busy and exciting few weeks for us! Earlier this month, we partnered with NYSCIRS (New York State Coalition of Independent and Religious Schools) and NYSED (New York State Education Department) to host the 40th Annual RISE Conference in Albany. Dr. Marc Brackett of Yale University gave the keynote address on the importance of emotional intelligence for students and teachers alike. We were very grateful to have the chance to meet more educators and school leaders in person at the conference and look forward to future collaborations.
Dr. Brackett speaks to the crowd at the RISE conference.
Soon, we are hosting our first webinar series with the Cooke Institute on December 10th, 11th, and 12th. The facilitator will be Marie Stamps, who will share expertise around deepening family-school connections, which is especially important during the holiday season!

THE STUDENT VOICE ENSURES A SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Dr. Shana Eutsay, Ed.D., emphasized the importance of creatively engaging students to enhance their learning experience. This approach not only strengthens their connection to the school community but also fosters a deeper appreciation for learning.
In this podcast, Rev. James Kuroly, Rector and President of Cathedral Preparatory School and Seminary Elmhurst, NY emphasized the importance of investing in student leadership development.
RETURNING TO CALMER, STIMULATING LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
At the heart of teaching SEL is relationships. Teachers need to know their students and build relationships as the first step to fostering self-concept and engage them in their learning. Today, many educators suffer from ‘emotional’ fatigue and have super-stressed brains, hence the need to first care for self and calm their own brains before caring for their students.
