The International School Counselor SEL Leadership Institute is designed to help leaders move beyond fragmented initiatives toward a shared vision, common language, and aligned approach to SEL—grounded in research, informed by global goals around flourishing and wellbeing, and oriented toward the future of education.

Few things are as important as how we tell the human story — the stories we tell about ourselves, others, and the larger world. In increasingly diverse and international school communities, educators are called to move beyond single narratives toward more expansive, inclusive approaches to teaching and learning. This workshop is designed to provide the support and guidance to facilitate such growth.

This interactive two-day learning experience invites educators and school leaders to expand how the human story is told across classroom practice, curriculum design, and school culture. Grounded in inquiry, identity literacy, storytelling, and strategic design, participants will explore how to cultivate more inclusive approaches that promote belonging and academic success.

Designed for K12 educators, instructional coaches, and school leaders who are ready to move beyond buzzwords and dig into the deeper questions surrounding technology in education. If you’ve ever wondered how to teach AI without reducing it to just another “add-on,” or how to help students think critically about the systems shaping their world, this experience is for you. Regardless of your subject expertise, you’ll find that the Digital Humanities approach invites interdisciplinary connections, ethical reflection, and student-led inquiry. This is for educators who believe learning should be rooted in humanity, not just hardware, and who want to equip students to navigate a future shaped by both algorithms and empathy.
