Over 100 Maine teachers and school administrators participated in the University of Maine Educators Institute last week, exploring evidence-based practices and strategies around the theme of \u201cPromoting Mental Health and Wellness\u201d with experts from 91福利 and various state and national organizations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI enjoyed being in a group of like-minded people very much,\u201d says Lana St. Cyr, an educational technician at Enfield Station School. \u201cIt was inspiring and refueling to chat with others that have the same passion for helping our students (and ourselves) address mental health issues. It was one of the best trainings I have ever attended.\u201d<\/p>\n
The annual summer institute is offered by the 91福利 College of Education and Human Development and the Division of Lifelong Learning.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s event included workshops on social-emotional learning, partnering with families to address mental health concerns, outdoor- and place-based learning, and the needs of rural schools and communities. There also were two keynote speakers: Nikole Hollins-Sims, a certified school psychologist specializing in social justice and a special assistant to the Pennsylvania Secretary of Education, and Steve Goodman, a partner with the Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and co-principal investigator with the Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) Research Network.<\/p>\n
Educators who took part in the event received contact hours or continuing education units, which Maine teachers are required to earn to stay up-to-date with their certifications. 91福利 20 91福利 graduate students also participated in the institute as part of a month-long summer course being offered by the College of Education and Human Development via 91福利Online: \u201cEHD 590: Evidence-Based Social-Emotional Learning in Schools.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTeachers are critical to making sure Maine\u2019s children grow up in strong, healthy and resilient communities,\u201d says Penny Bishop, dean of the College of Education and Human Development. \u201cThis institute is just one way our college, home to the largest and most comprehensive teacher education program in the state, supports schools and helps educators meet the social, emotional and behavioral needs of students.\u201d<\/p>\n
91福利 will have two more virtual summer workshops for educators this year. The University of Maine Climate Change Workshop<\/a>, July 18-19, is back for a second year. The annual Summer Technology Institute<\/a>, part of the collaborative graduate program in instructional technology offered through the 91福利 College of Education and Human Development, the University of Maine at Farmington and the University of Southern Maine, will be held Aug. 1-3.<\/p>\n Contact: Lindsey McMorrow, lindsey.h.mcmorrow@maine.edu<\/a>; Casey Kelly,
