Several hundred educators gathered in Anchorage this week for the Alaska School Safety and Wellbeing Summit to explore strategies that help kids thrive. Can you guess what all of these topics had in common?
- Increasing attendance (DEED)
- Preventing Suicide (PC Cares)
- Culturally Connected Social & Emotional Learning (Pulasaraq Curriculum)
- Implementing PBIS (Northwest PBIS)
You guessed it: strong partnerships with families. If you missed it, check out the resources and presentations.
We also heard from educators and students that one of the most powerful strategies for improving family-school partnerships and student motivation is to build relationships. Not sure where to start? Take time to get to know your students and their families.
