Discover how your school can evolve to address trauma, promote well-being, and elevate learning. Join Mike Ruyle, Ed.D., Author and Associate at Marzano Resources, as he walks through the components of The School Wellness Wheel and explores the complex interplay between mastery, culture, and trauma in an innovative framework that has the potential to completely transform the narrative of traditional education. He will share real-life examples of the many schools that have leveraged this framework to take strides in addressing trauma and incorporating resiliency-centered education in their classrooms. Ruyle will be joined by Shelly Swanson who will share her own school’s experience with the School Wellness Wheel and the real impact it has made in the school community.

This edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. Mike Ruyle and Shelly Swanson will be open for questions you may have about the framework and how you can utilize it in your own school or classroom.
