A Systemic Framework

For a growing number of schools and districts, SEL has become a coordinating framework for how educators, families, and communities partner to promote students' social, emotional, and academic learning.

SEL is embedded in their strategic plans, staffing, professional learning, and budgets. It guides their curriculum choices and classroom instruction - both direct practice in SEL as well as integrated instruction with reading, math, history, and other core subjects.

It drives many of their schoolwide practices and policies. It informs how adults and students relate with each other at all levels of the system, creating a welcoming, participatory, and caring climate for learning.

It shapes their partnerships with families and community members, highlighting engagement, trust, and collaboration.

And it works. Check out the research.

If your student made green choices you can send them home with a green choice sticker! Not only do they love it but it's a great way to let parents know that their child made green choices that day!

Sharing a classroom chant at the end of the day, I feel, is empowering not only to the class as a whole but to each individual child! it's a great way to build a culture of inclusion and belonging within the classroom!
