A bi-weekly e-newsletter to inform you of updates regarding PSELI

A Day at Wallace

On September 10, 2019, PSELI leaders gathered at the Wallace Foundation in New York City to discuss project progress. The team included Janyn Robinson, Principal of Lantana Elementary, among others. The Wallace Foundation participated in a side-by-side deep dive with the team and reviewed changes and adjustments PSELI sites are making in view of the formative feedback data. They also saw a brief presentation on your practices, particularly professional learning and coaching activity, as well as cross-collaboration between in-school time and out-of-school time. PSELI is beginning year three and four and is anticipating a mid-term public progress report being released nationally in late spring 2020.

New Custom Resources Just For You

PSELI is providing you with new custom resources to communicate with your peers and families.

"What is SEL?" is a great resource for families and anyone who needs a better understanding of what social and emotional learning is.

"What is PSELI?" is a one-page fact sheet that can be used as a resource when explaining the Partnerships for Social and Emotional Learning Initiative.

"SEL Morning to Night" is a custom infographic that was created for families to help them understand what social and emotional learning looks like at home, school and afterschool.
