This past spring the Newark Trust for Education welcomed over 160 guests to the second annual Safe and Supportive Learning Environments (SSLE) Summit, where experts from local, state and national arenas presented new insights and reinforced the importance of social-emotional learning. For those unable to attend, video recordings of each breakout session are now available. Click here to access session videos and other valuable resources including powerpoint presentations, resource lists and the white paper entitled Widen the Scope: School Based Mental Health Services in Newark.

In April 2018, the Abbott Leadership Institute (ALI), in partnership with the Newark Trust for Education (NTE), provided the training “Parents Empowered:Building Your Family’s Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Skills” to approximately 50 Newark Public School parents, caregivers and community stakeholders at four locations.

ALI and NTE are proud to partner again for the delivery and expansion of the training series. This year we plan to reach 70-100 parents in seven locations across the city of Newark.

It’s National Storytelling Week! National Storytelling Week is celebrated by all ages--from folklore to fairy tales, figments and phantoms--a good storyteller conjures intrigue. To celebrate this week, we’re sharing some of NTE’s favorite books enjoyed by families in our Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP).
