Short Videos

Work days are busy and don't leave much time for professional development! But, taking a few minutes to re-charge and learn from others can give new energy and perspective to our work.

Take a few minutes to watch a short video of strategies that support youth mental health, emotions, and behaviors. We link to different videos throughout the year. We are currently highlighting a series of videos by Edutopia
