"More and more, district leaders are focusing on promoting and assessing students’ social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies.

Rigorous research shows that SEL leads to greater academic achievement, better mental health, and career success. Your district community -- from administrators, to parents, to teachers -- is likely bought into the idea that SEL can help children deal with the stressors and challenges in school and life.

But in order to cultivate students’ social-emotional skills, the adults in your building also need to feel supported and valued. Promoting student SEL starts with adults. In other words -- is your district attending to the social-emotional development and self-care of educators and staff?

This guide will equip you with the strategies and tools you need to strengthen adult SEL. By the end, you’ll understand different approaches to adult SEL as well as how to measure and implement it in your district.
