The LI SEL Forum will host a free discussion with Dr. Mark Barth from the State Ed Department on May 12th at 3:35-5:30 PM at the Commack Middle School.

Comment by Carol Brown on March 24, 2008 at 9:05am: Good to find we have a professional network through this venue. Keep up the good work Joan.
I called Laura L (she wasn't in), and sent a very general email to gauge Nassau BOCES' temperature on WS BOCES taking the leadership role for SEL. Hope to hear from her tomorrow.
And sorry that I will miss your presentation on the 28th. I'll be in Fairfax, VA visiting w/ my daughter before I attend a weekend (through Monday) meeting for VSAarts in D.C.
Hope you had a wonderful Easter w/ your family,
Carol :-)

Comment by Michael Keany on March 23, 2008 at 6:56pm: I'm very happy to see that Joan has again taken the lead to establish this new communications tool for this important work. If anyone comes across a video that might be useful for the other members to see, it's very easy to post that video also.

Comment by Joan Fretz on March 22, 2008 at 10:57pm: In response to the Children's Mental Health Act of 2006, the New York State Department of Education is developing guidelines for Social Emotional Learning for our NY schools. The LI SEL Forum is dedicated to facilitating the exchange of information about SEL programs, strategies and concepts. We welcome your comments and questions. Joan Fretz
