Attention SEL4CA Alliance Members!
SEL4CA is excited to announce we are Co-Hosting LAUSD’s annual SEL Conference taking place on May 27, 2020 at the Los Angeles Grand Hotel – 333 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA.
As an Alliance Member, you are invited to participate in a number of ways:
- Offer your organization as a sponsor of the conference
(contact Amy at acranston@sel4ca.org to explore this opportunity);
- Attend as a participant, registration details coming soon!
NOTE: As priority registration is allotted to LAUSD educators, open registration for Alliance Members will be limited to the first 20-40 members to register, so once we release the registration link, act fast! Please note that, unless you are employed by LAUSD, you must register through SEL4CA and not through LAUSD.

https://forms.gle/TDBU8A6tQxdyk9zo7
The Conference Theme is: Deepening our SEL Practice. The final question on the submission form, regarding Research Alignment, asks you to provide information that helps the audience to understand why SEL is effective and important in education. As you develop your description, please ensure that the content of your workshop will help teachers and/or administrators to understand how to implement SEL with fidelity. For example, you might describe how to integrate one of the SEL competencies into instruction. You might also consider proposing a workshop that demonstrates how you use specific SEL curricula to improve student outcomes.
We look forward to seeing you there!
