Breaking barriers: The strategic integration of technology and SETI for a sustainable tomorrow - The Academic

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
What systems and supports do educators need to effectively integrate technology into education? How can technology be seamlessly integrated with the SETI Framework?

# data[].attributes.body
"The Social-Ecological Technology Integration (SETI) framework is recognised as an essential tool for analyzing the socio-ecological environments of educators. It promotes a comprehensive view, encouraging all those in education to consider various elements beyond technology itself, such as training, support, and cultural norms. This framework underlines the concept that effective technology integration in education is a collaborative endeavor. It requires more than just the acquisition of technology; it involves concerted efforts in infrastructure and support systems. The SETI framework suggests a collective responsibility, extending beyond individual educators to encompass the wider educational community."

For educators, SETI provides a reminder of what should be in place for them to integrate technology successfully.

Furthermore, SETI also functions as an introspective tool for educators. It invites them to reflect on their perceptions of technology and to ensure they have the necessary backing for its effective integration into their teaching practices.

# data[].attributes.body
Educators and leaders in education are advised to use the SETI model as a means to scrutinize the socio-ecological aspects of their systems. This approach encourages a reevaluation of how technology integration is viewed, stressing the importance of a wider range of factors like support mechanisms, training opportunities, and policy frameworks

# data[].attributes.body
In the SETI framework, the concentric circles around the educator represent the various systems that determine how an educator integrates technology. These various systems all play a role in successful technology integration. In the center of the framework, the educator uses his/her beliefs and family culture to make decisions regarding technology integration. These beliefs are critical to the successful use of technology in education (Akram et al., 2022). If an educator does not believe that technology is useful in education, they will probably use it in a way connecting to this belief. This is also the case for positive beliefs about technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Educators can use SETI to advocate for their needs while also reminding others that educators should not be working alone to integrate technology into education. SETI can also be used as a framework for educators to examine and reflect on their beliefs about technology and recognize that these beliefs have an impact on the success of the integration.

Educational leaders can use SETI as a framework to examine the socio-ecological issues that are part of the educational systems they manage.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is often purchased and handed over to educators, who are expected to have all the pieces to ensure technology is successfully integrated into education. The SETI framework reminds the educational community that it takes all members of the community, local, regional, and national to ensure successful technology integration.

This includes educators, school and district leadership, local government and community organizations, and national government and institutions. When this happens, educators are not working alone, and all parts of the educational ecosystem are working together to ensure student success.

Body, Mind & Spirit

"To be renewed in the spirit of your mind." Ephesians 4:23

Equipping educators with the right tools to support children/students and their families who are experiencing personal problems. This toolkit is intended to awaken awareness, and not to train educators to diagnose or treat any mental health condition.

According to the World Health Organization, Worldwide, 10% of children and adolescents experience a mental disorder, but the majority of them do not seek help or receive care. Half of all mental health conditions start by 14 years of age. Suicide is the third leading cause of death in 15-19 year-olds.

Welcome to the North American Division Office of Education Mental Health Educators' Training toolkit. When you hear the words "Mental Health," it often refers to a person's state of mind. The World Health Organization defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes their own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to their community."

Students spend a considerable amount of time in school, and educators are often the first to notice any behavioral and physical changes. This toolkit is to help educators understand and identify the seven most common mental health challenges and disorders, and how to help children, youth, and their families get the appropriate Mental Health resources necessary to assist them. Many children and youth with a diagnosed mental health condition have experienced childhood trauma. Mental health problems are common, but they can improve over time with the proper treatment and support. The key is taking the necessary steps to get help.

This website is not intended to train educators to diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, it is designed to help educators notice atypical behaviors in children or youth throughout the school day and provide families with appropriate resources and guidance. The diagnosis and treatment are the responsibility of health care professionals.

The toolkit also includes a 4½ hour video course that will assist educators in learning to identify the seven most common Mental Health challenges in children and youth. The training will also provide strategies that the educators can use to help students experiencing Mental Health Challenges. Remember, mental health challenges are manageable and treatable; the key is early intervention, so our children and youth can live fruitful and productive lives.

We live in a fallen world, with an enemy who is always at work. However, our God is a mighty God who has promised to be with us. Isaiah 41:10 says, "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." As you embark on this Mental Health Journey, our prayer is that God will use you and equip you to nurture a spirit of wholeness in each of the children and young people in your care.
