Multi-Tiered System of Supports: A systemic, prevention-focused framework for addressing students' academic and behavioral needs through the integration and continuous improvement of systems and services. Includes universal, evidence-based supports that create a positive learning environment and engages all students in high quality learning, and more intensive evidence-based supports for students who have higher levels of need.

Professional Learning Communities
Professional learning communities provide an important opportunity to integrate SEL into existing practices, work collaboratively on the goals of schoolwide SEL, and cultivate their own social and emotional competencies.
Carol Dweck is a psychologist who researches achievement and success. Her major finding is that those who have a “growth mindset”—those who believe that their abilities are developed through dedication and hard work, not innate talent—are more likely to be resilient when things get tough and persevere to achieve goals (Dweck, 2006).

In partnership with schools and districts, CASEL has documented, field-tested, and refind a strategic, collaborative process for schoolwide SEL
Foster supportive classroom environments that engage in explicit SEL and integrate SEL throughout instruction.
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.
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.
