SEL Center – Center to Improve Social and Emotional Learning and School Safety

Home

The vision of the national Center to Improve Social and Emotional Learning and School Safety is that when all children are educated in places of equity, safety, and learning, and when they receive the integrated academic, social, and emotional supports that meet their individual needs, then they can achieve their greatest potential in K-12 education, as well as in college, career, and life.

The Center has compiled resources to support states, districts, and schools as they serve students throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. These resources can be found below.

Our Work

The Center intends to expand the knowledge and capacity of the field to integrate evidence-based social and emotional learning (SEL) and school safety practices and programs to support students’ success throughout their K-12 experience and beyond. To do so, the Center will offer three-tiered technical assistance.
