Port Clinton Social Emotional Learning & Mental Wellness Symposium

In an age where AI can deliver content, the teacher’s role is evolving. This session challenges educators to move beyond traditional curriculum-provided lessons and pacing guides to include what students truly need—authentic relationships, emotional intelligence, and effective collaboration. CoreTex, a research-informed brain model, demonstrates how classroom activities and strategies drive behavior, knowledge acquisition, engagement, and social interactions. By integrating SEL and empowering educators with an understanding of how emotions shape learning, CoreTex provides tools to reduce disruptions, enhance attention, and build the emotional intelligence students need to thrive. With access to a database of over 200 research-backed strategies, CoreTex equips teachers to create effective, student-centered learning experiences and focus on teaching kids, not just content.
