During this session, participants will learn and practice skills they will use and model in their schools and districts. We will learn how to model daily best practices in interpersonal interactions, classrooms, and staff meetings to reduce anxiety and create a safe, effective environment for serving. We will also hear from Tennessee leaders and learners about their transformational journey through their work with culture, climate, and focus on the whole child on their campuses and in the district.
