Professional Learning About SEL
As staff use shared agreements to guide their interactions, it’s essential that they also reflect on their own social and emotional growth.
Assess needs and resources to develop an SEL implementation plan with clear goals, action steps, and assigned ownership.
Establish a structured, ongoing process to collect, reflect on, and use implementation and outcome data to inform school-level decisions and drive improvements to SEL implementation.
SEL is a powerful lever for creating caring, just, inclusive, and healthy communities that support all individuals in reaching their fullest potential.
Align schoolwide systems, policies, programs, and practices to promote SEL for students.
Build foundational support by establishing an SEL team, fostering SEL awareness, and developing a shared vision.
In partnership with schools and districts, CASEL has documented, field-tested, and refind a strategic, collaborative process for schoolwide SEL
Establish a highly-functioning SEL team that’s representative of the school community and includes students, families, and community groups in decision-making processes.
Review your current level of implementation, identify needs and resources, set goals, and develop concrete action steps for SEL implementation.
Just as it’s important to model SEL for students in the classroom, it’s also important for adults to consistently model social-emotional competencies with each other.
