Teaching to Thrive with Dr. Bettina Love: Tool Kit 2

The Office of Teacher Development, in partnership with Dr. Bettina Love, proudly presents "Teaching to Thrive." Tool Kit #2 provides resources for teachers and school leaders to examine approaching teaching and learning to help teachers and students understand and heal from the collective pain caused by COVID-19. Specifically, the materials focus on Social Emotional Learning, SEL,  and valuing Black lives. This toolkit can be completed independently, or can be the basis for a discussion among teachers. Use the Reflection Guide to guide your learning when listening to the resources in the toolkit.
