Just as it’s important to model SEL for students in the classroom, it’s also important for adults to consistently model social-emotional competencies with each other.
Create a stable budget for SEL resources, professional learning, and staffing to support the sustainability of SEL efforts.
Social and emotional learning is essential to every child’s education.
Academic mindsets are beliefs or ways of perceiving oneself in relation to learning, and lay the groundwork for deep academic, social and emotional learning.
As the SEL team works to develop a schoolwide professional learning plan, staff can choose to take it one step further and develop their own personalized professional learning plan to support the school’s SEL goals.
Engage all members of the school community in foundational learning opportunities to help them understand their role in schoolwide SEL.
Support staff in cultivating personal social and emotional competencies and fostering the competencies of peers and students.

This process helps schools create an environment that supports students in developing the academic, social, and emotional competencies that they need to navigate the world.
