District SEL Best Practices: Cultivating Shared Leadership for Schoolwide SEL

A district SEL leader from Austin, TX describes their leadership structure and approach to supporting SEL implementation through district SEL specialists who provide coaching and training for cohorts of school-based SEL leaders who in turn work with an SEL steering committee that is representative of the broader school community. This model has been shown to significantly improve implementation.

District SEL Best Practices: Support Belonging and Explicit SEL Instruction

A district SEL leader from Palm Beach County, FL describes the resource guide they provide to all schools which includes weekly SEL themes to build common language across settings, activities to build community aligned with each theme, and age-differentiated activities for explicitly teaching the week's SEL skill. Schools that have committed to full SEL implementation use an evidence-based program during dedicated SEL time, and all schools are provided with a 5 minute discussion-based lesson.
