Academic mindsets are beliefs or ways of perceiving oneself in relation to learning, and lay the groundwork for deep academic, social and emotional learning.
Review your current level of implementation, identify needs and resources, set goals, and develop concrete action steps for SEL implementation.
Foster supportive classroom environments that engage in explicit SEL and integrate SEL throughout instruction.
Integration of SEL and Instruction
Social and emotional competencies serve as a foundation for achieving academic goals, while academic instruction also provides a ripe opportunity for teaching and practicing SEL.
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.
Build foundational support by establishing an SEL team, fostering SEL awareness, and developing a shared vision.
Develop a coordinated approach for supporting students’ social and emotional learning across the school, classrooms, homes, and communities.
While your team works to align school discipline policies to SEL, it’s important to ensure that all classrooms consistently reinforce a student-centered approach to discipline.
Students have a unique perspective on how high-level decisions impact the day-to-day life of the school, and their voices are critical to quality schoolwide SEL implementation. By listening to students, schools can make informed decisions about the changes that will best support all learners.
