Webinar: Morning Meeting and Responsive Advisory Meeting in the Midst of COVID-19

As a new school year approaches, educators everywhere are tasked with reimagining how they will build strong social-emotional learning communities while simultaneously ensuring equitable access to learning for all students.

The Responsive Classroom core belief states that in order to be successful in and out of school, students need to learn a set of social and emotional competencies—cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control—and a set of academic competencies—academic mindset, perseverance, learning strategies, and academic behaviors. Morning Meeting and Responsive Advisory Meeting are key to creating and supporting learning communities where students can build these competencies. These practices serve as powerful change agents in the creation of equitable classrooms by allowing teachers the opportunity to know and understand students while providing students an opportunity to be seen and heard.

- Understand why Morning Meeting and Responsive Advisory Meeting are critical to your efforts to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion.
- Learn strategies to adapt the practices of Morning Meeting and Responsive Advisory Meeting to the unique conditions facing educators this school year.
