Emotionally Responsive Schools Conference
Bank Street’s Emotionally Responsive Schools Conference is a day of collaboration and study of Emotionally Responsive Practice (ERP) in early childhood, elementary, and middle school settings. This annual conference supports teachers, social workers, and administrators to develop a deep understanding of child development, social and emotional foundations for learning and well-being, parent engagement, and mastery of supportive techniques for building safe and nurturing school communities. This year’s conference will be virtual, and will address the challenges of being a teacher, administrator or school social worker through this time of crisis.
Emotionally Responsive Practice is consistent with SAMHSA’s definition of trauma informed care.
This year’s virtual conference, ERP in Times of Crisis, was held on Friday, December 4.
