What does YOUR community need most? How can the Connecticut State Legislature make that happen? Come tell us what you’d like to see the State of Connecticut do to support SEL in a real way.
Join our continuing conversation about moving forward to discuss current legislative progress, choosing and setting necessary goals, and developing valuable recommendations.
You know your own community’s needs best; your work puts you in the unique position to see what others do not. Bring your individual expertise about what you do, what you need, and what will help you do it better. Help craft the SEL4CT legislative agenda for the upcoming session and ensure your voice is heard as we define the SEL4CT advocacy agenda for this season for the greatest impact on ensuring the social and emotional well being of our state!
If you’re like most of us, 2020 has been a challenging year. SEL4CT wants to take a moment to connect with you and discuss the importance of self-care as the year comes to a close.
How are you managing your self-care? What are you doing to ensure that others feel empowered to care for themselves through this challenging time? How has self-care changed for you from a year ago? Come share your self-care strategies, and gather resources and recommendations from others as you take a leisurely virtual lunch break with members of the SEL4CT community.

This month our featured guest will be Dr. Sandee McClowry, Professor Emerita, New York University and the developer of INSIGHTS into Children’s Temperament. Her work promotes the ideas that SEL skills can be effectively individualized to match a child’s temperament/personality and Sandee will explain how understanding a child’s temperament can help SEL providers tailor their strategies to match a child’s temperament.
To prepare for her discussion you can go to this link to identify a child’s temperament. Scroll down the page to “Take the survey” and answer the questions about a child that you work with that is challenging for your to work with. Then retake the survey about a child you don’t find very challenging to work with. As part of her presentation, Sandee will explain the survey during the brown bag and demonstrate other ways that you can identify a child’s temperament.
Bring your lunch, your questions and your curiosity and join the conversation!
Join us on Tuesday, November 17th, 10:30-noon together with the Connecticut SEL and School Climate Collaborative for a special webinar with the Connecticut State Department of Education about current SEL initiatives. More details to follow.
