Integrating SEL into Staff and Grade-Level Meetings

SEL practices help improve collaboration and can be embedded into any meeting where staff comes together to help build collaboration. Practices may include intentional opportunities to connect personally, interact in meaningful ways, share appreciations, or take time for reflection.

Grade-level team meetings offer a frequent opportunity to support reflection, inquiry, and collaboration among teachers. Centering a portion of grade-level team meetings around SEL can also encourage teachers to collaboratively work on their classroom climate, instruction, and discipline practices.
