Equitable Student Resilience Through  Strengths-Based Connections

As students begin their journies to inclusion, the importance of developing social, emotional, and resiliency skills increases. In this workshop, you will learn how to see and strengthen webs of support around your students. You’ll discover interactive lesson plans that help students identify and bolster their own connections with caring and connected adults. When students have strong webs of support, they become more resilient and their SEL skills improve. Through these easy-to-teach lessons, students gain a better knowledge of themselves—who they are, what they should strive for, what they should avoid, and who can support them. February 6, 2021, 12:00-12:45 Alaska Standard Time.

Our Language in 50 Years

Join Brightways Learning’s Lisa Kerscher along with Susan Paskvan and Gina Hrinko from Alaska’s Yukon-Koyukuk School District as they explore the question “Where will your language be in 50 years?” On Thursday, October 10th from 10:30-11:45 a.m., Y-KSD, a rural school district in Interior Alaska, and Brightways will discuss how they are revitalizing two languages via distance education. Through an Office of Indian Education grant, Y-KSD was able to develop a curriculum that includes on-site classes, distance education classes, and online resources for students and parents. Participants will learn how the language revitalization plan shaped the development of a workbook and teaching. Learn more about the convention>>
