Professional Development for Members MEA offers virtual Quality Schools Summit
Despite not being able to meet in-person, MEA still offered its annual Spring Quality Schools Summit. During two separate Saturdays, members logged on to receive training on multiple topics from emotional equity to leaders for just schools to social and emotional learning. MEA offers contact hours for those who attend our training sessions, which members value and appreciate. Missed these sessions? Check out what members learned below and log on to our website to catch up on our webinar offerings. Note: in order to receive contact hours, you must attend virtually, in-person.
What was the most valuable takeaway from this conference?
“There was a lot, but if I had to go with one it would be that there is help out there if a student is being abused. Having been involved with a situation where there wasn't much help for the student it was nice to hear what is out there now.” “Love MEA for continuing to provide information, training and opportunities.”
“It was refreshing to meet with colleagues who are committed to justice and equity.” “Keron Blair's message-excellent!”
“I teach in a school with high ELL. This training helped me learn a nice way to tell a story and make it visual for them.” “Playful social emotional learning. Great engaging way to teach.”
“Teachers need heightened sensitivity to implicit bias and more training regarding this.” June 2021 • www.maineea.org
