Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Monitoring and reflecting on your district’s progress in promoting district-wide social and emotional learning (SEL) is an important part of quality implementation. Here are tools that can help.
This focus area of the CASEL District Resource Center helps districts collect and reflect on data, address challenges, and build upon successes to continuously improve social and emotional learning (SEL) implementation.
Clear, ongoing communication helps build awareness, promotes social and emotional learning (SEL) in classrooms and schools, and makes the case for investing in SEL.
Planning for continuous improvement is the first phase in a PDSA cycle. This includes the work you’ve done in Key Activity 1 (Vision and Plan) to develop an action plan based on your current needs, resources, and level of implementation.
Access to high-quality data can make or break an SEL effort. When your team documents the ongoing successes and challenges they encounter throughout the year, they’re equipped to problem solve in real-time.
