About the Institute

Students must be placed at the center of teaching and learning to be prepared to learn, live, and lead, at their fullest potential. When policy and practice are aligned, students will experience a learning environment where SEL skills are modeled, fostered, and developed. As a result, every classroom becomes a social, emotional, and academic learning community where students thrive. The Social Emotional Learning Institute includes practical, virtual learning experiences for K-12 educators, leaders, and paraprofessionals interested in creating social-emotional learning environments for their students. In each course, participants will walk away with an SEL Roadmap of resources, ideas, and strategies to utilize in their planning and teaching.
