While the majority of educators report that social-emotional learning is occurring in their classrooms, less than half say SEL is implemented on a schoolwide basis. For SEL to have the greatest impact, a systemic approach to implementation that aligns district policies, resources, and practices is needed.

As you start the new school year, this edWebinar provides guidance on building capacity to implement a robust SEL program that serves the needs of all students and educators. You learn:

  • Strategies for implementing social-emotional behavior (SEB) supports in all tiers of a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
  • How to utilize SEB assessment data to ensure strong outcomes for all students and support continuous improvement
  • Steps for designing professional learning that helps all educators develop the skills and capacity necessary for implementation

Whether your district is just getting started with SEL or wants to make strides toward systemic implementation this year, join our expert presenters for actionable information you can use to advance high-quality SEL.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders, directors of student services, directors of school climate, MTSS directors and coordinators, and special education directors.
