“We are looking for proposals from applicants seeking to design and host a convening that brings together educators, other SEL experts and other stakeholders to build capacity to equitably meet students’ social, emotional and academic needs. Applicants should also set their own goals and objectives aligned to their local context and needs. Selected proposals should include grant activities that would occur during the 2020 calendar year. Selected applicants will also receive technical assistance from Education First during the design phase of their grant. This assistance will leverage Education First’s experience and resources designing and executing convenings for educators and other audiences—although the convening priorities and decision-making will at all times remain the grantees’.”
