High-quality SEL implementation is an ongoing process that calls on districts to continuously iterate and improve. Continuous improvement refers to a deliberate and structured process of addressing problems or improving outcomes. This focus area helps district collect and reflect on data, address challenges, and build upon successes to continuously improve SEL implementation.
Read the definition of full implementation under each item before selecting a rating. A ‘4’ rating indicates that the full definition is met.

Reflect on progress toward annual SEL goals
The district compiles summative implementation and outcome data to assess yearly progress toward districtwide SEL goals. Data are disaggregated by prioritized student groups to examine and address systemic root causes of disparities. The district engages district and school teams, students, families, staff, and community partners to reflect on these data. Data reflection is guided by established norms that promote a supportive environment for reflecting on data and a structured protocol. The district also provides ongoing support that empowers school teams to reflect on summative school-level SEL data for continuous improvement, and structured opportunities for schools to share and learn from each other (e.g., cross-site professional learning communities).

Make improvements to the action plan
At the end of each school year, the district partners with students, families, staff, and community partners to determine how to use learnings to revise SEL goals and action plan in preparation for another cycle of SEL strategic planning (beginning again with Focus Area 1). The district summarizes learnings on SEL implementation successes and challenges and shares findings in public report(s). The district supports school teams in summarizing learnings in preparation for data-informed action planning with their own students, families, staff, and community partners.
