What is the most challenging mental health issue in your school or district right now?: Anxiety and stress among teachers and students
How is mental health currently addressed in your school(s), and what are the limitations?: We have an SEL curriculum that is implemented K-5 as well as an emphasis on SEL in secondary through their advisory time. Currently our SEL Coordinator is working on PD for administrators to embed the 3 signature practices from CASEL (welcoming activity, engaging practices, and optimistic closure) into everyday practice. The limitations are the integrity in which the program is implemented--some teachers use it every day, some sparingly, and some not at all.
What are a few points you'd like to cover relating to school mental health improvement? (This serves as a helpful reminder when it's time for you to interview).:
-Leveraging relationships to support social-emotional well-being and mental health
-Cultivating a safe learning environment
-Continuing this work throughout the year, not just at the beginning

Johnathan has seven years of experience as a special education teacher at a therapeutic campus for students with emotional disturbance and four more years as an in-school suspension teacher at two middle schools. After discovering how in-school suspension programs are failing to meet the needs of our most at-risk students, Johnathan created a successful in-school suspension program to address the current disciplinary, academic, and restorative requirements of our student populations. After establishing successful ISS programs on two campuses, he made the decision to create a roadmap for others to follow in his latest book The Art of In-School Suspension.
What is the most challenging mental health issue in your school or district right now?: Teacher burnout, testing anxiety, stress eating (rampant) How is mental health currently addressed in your school(s), and what are the limitations?: Very little is being offered beside social media posts and encouraging emails with links to outside services. What are a few points you'd like to cover relating to school mental health improvement? (This serves as a helpful reminder when it's time for you to interview).: 1. What in-school suspension looks like in most schools and why this is a problem. 2. In-school suspension as a tool to support classroom teachers. 3. How in-school suspension leads to campus wide improvement of culture and contributes to the overall sense of staff well being.
