WEBINAR. Launched last fall by the Aspen Institute, the National Commission on Social, Emotional, and Academic Development is seeking to engage and energize communities to fully integrate social, emotional, and academic development (SEAD) in K-12 education so that all students are ready to thrive in school, career and life. The Commission plans to issue a culminating 5-10 year roadmap with specific action steps in research, practice and policy to help build and sustain a new era of education focused on the whole student.

Join Grantmakers for Thriving Youth for a funders’ webinar focused on the Commission’s progress, future plans, and implications for philanthropy.

Dr. Timothy Shriver

Commission Co-Chair; Co-Founder and Chair, Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL); Chairman, Special Olympics

Timothy Shriver is Chairman of Special Olympics, happily serving with more than 5.3 million Special Olympics athletes in 169 countries, all working to promote health, education, and a more unified world through the joy of sports.

Before joining Special Olympics, Shriver was a leading educator focusing on the social and emotional factors of learning. Starting in 1983, he studied child development with Dr. James Comer at the Yale Child Study Center, and discovered the inescapable link between emotion, relationships, and learning. In 1987, he created the country’s first comprehensive school-based primary prevention program in New Haven, CT. The Social Development Department featured a K-12 social and emotional learning curriculum, a city-wide Extended Day Academy, a parent education program, and a mental health team dedicated to positive school climate and effective services for those most in need. The effort was nationally recognized and remains a model. Shriver co-founded and chairs the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, a leading school reform organization in the field of social, emotional, and academic learning.

Shriver earned his undergraduate degree from Yale University, a Master’s degree from Catholic University, and a Doctorate in Education from the University of Connecticut. He authored the New York Times bestseller Fully Alive: Discovering What Matters Most and has been awarded honorary degrees and awards for his work in education and on behalf of persons with disabilities.
