What will you learn?
You’ll gain the necessary expertise to lead an intentional, collaborative process in your school that promotes academic, social, and emotional learning. The strategies will help you engage adults, support students, and create equitable learning environments.
Cannot recommend the CASEL workshop enough! The steps and resources for implementing schoolwide SEL were concrete, actionable, data-driven, equitable, and able to be applied to all schools – no matter where they are in their SEL journey. To make the complicated and overwhelming process of implementing schoolwide SEL feel manageable is no small feat, but CASEL has done it!

Leading Schoolwide SEL: Preparing for the Journey Ahead
The workshop offers practical strategies to bring back to your community. Whether you attend our virtual series live or on-demand, suggested actions between sessions will provide a record of your work, and help you and your leadership team facilitate a collaborative planning process with your school community.
SESSION 1 – Establish a shared understanding of systemic SEL
Participants will engage in an interactive exploration of CASEL’s framework for SEL, the four focus areas for systemic SEL implementation, and the 10 indicators of schoolwide SEL. From this shared understanding, participants will determine where they are starting from and we’ll unpack immediate priority actions.
SESSION 2: Strengthen adult SEL
Participants will explore tangible strategies that support adults in cultivating their own social emotional learning through intentional self-reflection, deep community learning, and modeling SEL across contexts.
SESSION 3: Promote SEL for students
Participants will examine strategies for actively engaging students in learning and practicing social and emotional competencies across classrooms and school environments, and in partnership with families and communities. This session will also focus on creating the conditions for student learning, including relationship-building and supportive learning environments.
SESSION 4: Putting it all together: Implementing your plan
Participants will explore tools and resources for collecting data they can use to track progress toward their SEL goals, draft action steps and an aligned evaluation plan, and develop strategies for engaging the full school community (staff, families, and students) in learning from data during this session that will model the full continuous improvement cycle.
Hear from Past Participants
“A wealth of valuable information put into practice for you. You decide what you want to do next and how to roll it out. Great resources!”
“This workshop has been instrumental in being able to introduce SEL to my school in a way that is attainable and connects to all staff levels. Prior to this training, I did not have the language or ability to present the information in a way that connects to the overall goals of the school. I now have hope that we can do this.”
“Any school in any country worldwide planning to implement SEL will benefit.”
“I have been studying the resources provided with the CASEL Schoolwide SEL guide independently, but the training really served to solidify my understanding. It gave the me the opportunity to reflect and plan as well as gain the confidence to implement the plan and advocate for SEL in both my school and district.”
“These sessions were so smartly organized and facilitated. Thank you for ensuring that our time was maximized and adult learning principles were utilized.”
“This workshop really helped me develop a more comprehensive understanding of the aspects of and ways to implement school wide SEL. I learned both helpful background information as well as very practical and accessible steps to get started with this important work!”
“In the ever-busy space that is education, this series invites us to pause and hold space for ourselves, our schools, and our communities as we reflect on our audacious ambitions for SEL: Where are we today? Where do we want to be? Through the productive reflections and visioning curated through this series, we have the opportunity to start the work in the now and start where we are.”
