PAPSA to Hold Free July 25th Webinar – All are Invited to Attend!

Mark your calendars for our free webinar on 7/25/24 as we huddle with The Social Institute on how
innovative schools are addressing social media, tech, and student well-being.
Every day, students are hit with social media posts, comments from friends, changing tech trends, and a variety of pressures, including the need for all students to achieve academic success. Schools try to support student well-being and address social media and tech to foster productive learning environments, but it’s easy to make mistakes.
In this free webinar the Pennsylvania Association of Pupil Services Administrators (PAPSA) and The Social Institute (TSI) will partner to guide educators in cultivating modern life skills in their students for sustained success. Attendees will learn actionable strategies to build a systemic approach to modern life skills that also addresses a couple of the biggest influences on students: social media and technology.
Join TSI’s Caitlin Dallmeyer and PAPSA’s Jeanne Knouse and Justin Rubenstein for the first in a series of webinars!
