About this Learning Opportunity
Research shows that focusing on positive mental health in schools results in enhanced academic achievement and school attendance; decreased oppositional behavior; a reduction in high risk behaviors; and enhanced respect and appreciation for diversity and individual differences. Recent amendments to the School Act included in Bill 10 include increased expectations for students, parents and schools around Welcoming, Caring, Respectful and Safe learning environments that ultimately support positive mental health.
You will:
- recognize what effective strategies already are in place to support learning in this area
- develop a deeper understanding of universal strategies to support positive mental health for their school and family population
- learn how the amendments to Bill 10 directly affect their school community
- develop the beginning of a school plan that meets the requirements of the School Act and universally supports mental health and school success
This session is being offered on a cost recovery basis.
