Implement and reflect on data to continuously improve
The SEL team meets regularly to drive the action plan forward, reflect on new data, and continuously improve SEL implementation to meet established SEL goals and respond to needs that arise.
This process helps schools create an environment that supports students in developing the academic, social, and emotional competencies that they need to navigate the world.
Explore the indicators of schoolwide SEL
Schoolwide SEL is a systemic approach to integrating academic, social, and emotional learning across all school contexts. This approach provides a learning environment that infuses SEL into all aspects of instruction and promotes equitable outcomes for all students, and is evidenced by these indicators.
Establish a highly-functioning SEL team that’s representative of the school community and includes students, families, and community groups in decision-making processes.
Leverage strategic and aligned community partnerships that ensure students receive consistent SEL supports, increase access to a broad range of community services, and expand the professional learning opportunities for SEL.
Review your current level of implementation, identify needs and resources, set goals, and develop concrete action steps for SEL implementation.
Support staff in cultivating personal social and emotional competencies and fostering the competencies of peers and students.
Expand adult learning through structures such as professional learning communities and mentoring opportunities.
Support staff in modeling SEL competencies, mindsets, and skills throughout the school community.
As the SEL team works to develop a schoolwide professional learning plan, staff can choose to take it one step further and develop their own personalized professional learning plan to support the school’s SEL goals.
