Are you interested in developing your skills in Social-emotional learning? Do you have a passion for leading others and inspiring a positive culture in your school? Or maybe you feel burnt out and need to focus on yourself so that you can get back to enjoying your job as an educator. Becoming a SEAD Champion can help you accomplish all of these things and more.

We are excited to introduce the fourth annual SEAD Champion Program—a revolutionary initiative designed to integrate Social Emotional Academic Development (SEAD) into every aspect of learning in Nevada schools. This program empowers teachers and administrators to foster a positive, inclusive, and emotionally-aware school environment that benefits everyone.

The SEAD Champion program is the starting point for the Mindful Social Emotional Leadership (MSEL) coaching program, where educators can learn the basics of SEL/SEAD and how to implement them into their life, classroom, and school culture as a whole. Through group classes, one-on-one coaching and home study, Champions receive training on strategic planning and networking opportunities with Nevada's leading SEAD experts.

This fully funded program is brought to Nevada Educators through Title IIA funding from the Nevada Department of Education in partnership with Mindful SEAD and is offered free of charge! Educators can earn up to 56 hours of professional development and all will be awarded with a completion certificate at the conclusion of the program.
