Videos for Inquiry and Team Professional Learning
We know that attendance leads to achievement, and that forming solid personal connections at school – and at home – can boost both academic and lifelong success. Watch a five-part, evidence-based Connect with Kids program (in manageable five-minute program segments) or a shorter two-minute Connect with Kids video short, all featuring kids and their real stories.
These online resources are designed to give educators the chance to focus and reflect on key social-emotional issues faced by students and families as they prepare for outreach and intervention. Select Resources for Educators in the About the Program box for questions for discussion and additional information.
