Welcome to the Newark Trust for Education's Countdown to the 2020 School Board Election!

On Tuesday, May 12, six candidates will vie for three open seats on the Newark Board of Education. During this occasion, residents have the opportunity to shape the future of public education for our children. Do your part. Stay informed and vote.

Today, March 27, 2020 marks the first annual International SEL Day! This is an opportunity to spread the word about the importance and impact of social emotional learning (SEL). Working together, we can raise awareness for SEL, bring on new SEL stakeholders, create artifacts that demonstrate SEL in action, share SEL best practices and more!

Social emotional learning (SEL) changes lives—studies show that SEL improves well-being and academic outcomes, builds positive school climate, and provides children with the necessary skills to excel in today’s workforce. Yet many members of our communities don’t know about SEL yet. At Newark Trust for Education we’re doing our part to change this.

The Newark Trust for Education remains committed to providing families with updated resources during the covid-19 pandemic. We will update our website and social media pages with new information and resources as they emerge. Below you'll find five new resources, three pertinent articles and a call to action for the nonprofit community.
