The Rural Vitality Lab is excited to be presenting our latest findings from our partnership with the Cobscook Community Learning Center’s TREE program at the National Rural Education Association Rural Forum in Louisville Kentucky on October 24th, 2019! We have two presentations related to our work with TREE that we’ll be presenting:

Meeting the Basic and Mental Health Needs of Students in Remote Rural Districts
Location: Salon 1, Marriott Louisville Downtown
Catharine Biddle, Lyn Mikel Brown, Mark Tappan, Brittany Ray, Jada Lamb, Meghan Charest

Student-Empowered Social-Emotional Learning in Rural Schools
Location: Salon 1, Marriott Louisville Downtown
Lyn Mikel Brown, Mark Tappan, Catharine Biddle, Brittany Ray

These presentations provide an overview of two aspects of the TREE collaboration that we find very exciting — a framework for thinking about rural-located trauma-informed systems change, and our most up to date findings on our innovative approach to SEL, student-empowered, social-emotional learning. We hope to see you there!
