Laura Buckner serves as a Technical Assistance provider for the national Center to Improve Social & Emotional Learning and School Safety.

Buckner is also a Program Associate for WestEd’s Resilient and Healthy Schools and Communities team, where she translates research to practice and supports implementation of evidence-based practices in education. Buckner’s work centers on sharing information that is timely, relevant, and useful to education leaders as they seek to improve systems to address the whole-person and whole-community needs of their stakeholders.

As a skilled communicator, Buckner has produced videos, webinars, newsletters, blogs, and other publications for several WestEd initiatives. As a technical assistance provider, she designs learning opportunities that bridge research and practice and that help practitioners align their goals with their activities.
