In this Webinar

We all want students to master academic standards and be confident, adaptive, and socially responsible. Above all, though, we want them to find meaning and satisfaction in their lives. Achieving these goals requires a concerted focus on the social-emotional and academic skills that empower students in and beyond the classroom.
