Build on Strengths and Experience

Schools, like the greater society, are becoming increasingly more diverse in culture, ethnicity, race, language, values, and beliefs. This diversity has countless positive benefits, but it can also present challenges.

Integrate Student Supports with SEL

By integrating SEL into student support services through a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), schools are better equipped to ensure that all students have what they need to succeed.

Fostering Academic Mindsets

Academic mindsets are beliefs or ways of perceiving oneself in relation to learning, and lay the groundwork for deep academic, social and emotional learning.

Aligning SEL and Academic Objectives

As your SEL team works with teachers to align SEL and academic objectives, it’s also important to consider how the content is delivered so that it supports the practice of social and emotional competencies.

Belonging and Emotional Safety

When teachers build the structures that support belonging and emotional safety, they lay the groundwork for students to focus on learning (Sergiovanni, 1994 in Darling-Hammond et al., 2017).

Foster a Supportive School Climate

Schoolwide norms help operationalize how all staff and students will contribute to a school culture that achieves their shared vision.
