ACSA We Care Series: Leading for Wellbeing

Kelcey Schmitz and Susan Barrett from the Northwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center will be presenting Leading for Wellbeing at the Alaska Council of School Administrators (ACSA) 'WE CARE' Series


Session Description:

Schools have increasingly invested in MTSS to address the academic and social-emotional-behavioral (SEB) needs of all students. This session will focus on wellness practices and developing a habit of wellness for educational leaders. We will also discuss how school leaders can organize, align and allocate resources to create a culture of health and wellness within an MTSS Framework by making shifts in strategy to focus on universal prevention to promote wellness for all, collaboration through establishing a system of support for staff, and data use in decision making to identify protective factors and supports.
