RDPSD Division Wide Staff Learning Day 2025

In today’s diverse and ever-evolving educational landscape, students often face complex social challenges that impact their well-being, academic success, and personal growth. This workshop equips educators, school leaders, and student support staff with practical strategies to address social issues effectively, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where students can thrive.

Central to this workshop is the concept of the collective belief of teachers in their ability to positively affect students, which serves as a foundation for driving meaningful change. Participants will explore how this shared confidence can be leveraged to address challenges such as bullying, mental health concerns, family dynamics, and cultural or socio-economic disparities.

Through interactive discussions, case studies, and hands-on activities, attendees will learn to:

Identify early warning signs of social issues affecting students.
Develop proactive intervention strategies to support students’ social and emotional needs.
Harness the power of collective teacher efficacy to create a unified and impactful support system.
Foster resilience, empathy, and a sense of belonging within the school community.
Measure and sustain positive outcomes through data-driven approaches and continuous reflection.
By the end of this workshop, participants will leave equipped with actionable tools and a deeper understanding of how to empower students to overcome challenges and achieve their fullest potential.

Join us to transform your approach to social issues and become a catalyst for positive change in students’ lives.
