Why is Julio Absent Again? I Teach Biology! I Can’t do SEL, too!

Tuesday February 9, 2021

Workshop 2

When faced with chronic absentee data, how one district allowed high school teachers to own social emotional learning (SEL), build a coaching team, and create a SEL playbook of classroom practices. Teacher buy-in and ownership are crucial to the success of secondary SEL. Examine the coaching model resulting in a strong SEL team across content areas, review the unique SEL playbook created to identify supportive classroom practices using CASEL’s competencies, and discover the power of learning crosswalks. Learn how this model is being used within the district as each school creates its own living playbook and team to promote SEL in order to accomplish systems-level change.
