"The mission of the Connie L. Lurie College of Education Collaborative for Reaching & Teaching the Whole Child is to enhance our schools’ capacity to meet the needs of children and those educators who work with them by: 1) designing and researching methods to embed the social-emotional dimension of teaching and learning into the preparation and ongoing professional development of educators; and 2) championing the social-emotional dimension of teaching and learning as the fourth pillar of education, equal to, and important as pedagogy, assessment, and curriculum."

"While schools are designed to help students grow and learn, often, school policies, practices and culture help push out and exclude students and often lead them into the juvenile justice system. This phenomenon, called, the School-to-Prison Pipeline disproportionately targets youth of color, LGBT youth and youth with disabilities. Join us for a conversation about how zero tolerance and other school policies feed the School-to-Prison Pipeline and limits the opportunities of our most vulnerable youth."
