2025 GOCSD Innovation Summit

Over the past three years, Republic has piloted the work of Social Skills and Work Habits at the classroom, building, and district level. Come and learn more about the process of how and why this work has been foundational to the success of the classroom. In this session we will explore some key research pieces that support the whole child's need of SEL curriculum in the school and practical strategies we have put into place to support teachers, students, and families.

Meeting the academic needs of all students can be exhausting. Teachers need high-quality tools to utilize in order to expedite this process. This session will explore Joplin School District's journey to support SPED educators with quality tiered instruction. Participants will gain insight and ideas needed to elevate tiered instruction in their district. Samples of instructional tools used by Joplin staff will also be provided.
