ACROSS NH is a project dedicated to supporting out of school time (OST) professionals in their work to create high quality, innovative programs for New Hampshire’s school age children.
ACROSS NH Social and Emotional Learning Project
Thanks to funding provided by the NH Bureau of Child Development and Head Start Collaboration, ACROSS NH has launched the Social and Emotional Learning Project. The project is focused on supporting the out of school time (OST) community in developing and enhancing Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in school age programs. The project provides various resources, including professional development training, series, cohorts, consultation, and other SEL supportive resources. For more information please contact the ACROSS NH Social and Emotional Learning Coordinator, Abigail Blodgett, at ablodgett@acrossnh.org.
SEML Community of Practice
Social, Emotional, and Mindful Learning Community of Practice
At the heart of the OST field are the values of building positive relationships, creating quality learning opportunities, and making contributions to lifelong thriving outcomes for our children and youth. This virtual SEML Community of Practice is for out of school time staff, site directors, and directors. We will focus on the guiding principles of social, emotional, and mindfulness learning in OST programs, share resources, practices, and collaborate with like-minded colleagues. Participants will walk away with a refocused lens on implementing SEL in OST. Register for individual sessions in the NH Connections Information System (NHCIS).
SEL Guides for OST
Two guides are available to support NH school age and out of school time community professionals in their work with children: "A Guide to Social and Emotional Learning for the Afterschool Professional," and "A Suspension and Expulsion Prevention Guide for New Hampshire Afterschool Programs." Both guides can be downloaded by clicking on the images.
Virtual guided walk through trainings are provided monthly. Register in NHCIS.
ACROSS NH provides free training and technical assistance (TA) to support the understanding and implementation of SEL policy and curriculum in out of school time programs. To request an SEL training or TA, please email Jamie Nadeau, Executive Director, at jnadeau@acrossnh.org.
