Promote SEL for Students
Students do not yet have opportunities to take on leadership and decision-making roles.
Some students have opportunities to take on more traditional leadership roles such as student council, patrols, or leading morning announcements.
Students are offered many opportunities to take on leadership and decision-making roles that inform SEL initiatives, instructional practices, and school climate. Students have opportunities to lead activities, solutions, and projects to improve their classrooms, school, and the broader community.
Staff honor and elevate a broad range of student perspectives and experiences by engaging them as leaders, problem-solvers, and decision-makers, offering ways for students to shape SEL initiatives, instructional practices, and school climate. Students regularly initiate and lead activities, solutions, and projects to improve their classrooms, school and the broader community.
Why is student voice and engagement important to SEL?
Students have a unique perspective on the ways that high-level decisions impact the day-to-day life of the school. When they are engaged authentically as leaders, problem solvers, and decision-makers, students practice and feel ownership over SEL. Student voice and engagement is most effective when it permeates all areas of the school.
