Newsletter Changes Coming

In January 2020 we will be switching to a new newsletter service. We can move all of our valuable contacts to the new system and you will not see a change in service. Hopefully, this will help some technical challenges that we are experiencing.

Wisconsin SEL Development Tracker Available

The WI SEL Development Tracker system is an online survey tool suite based on the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's (DPI) SEL competencies. These tools are designed to help schools recognize how they can improve SEL, teaching, and professional development in their schools. The three surveys monitor students, teachers/staff, and classrooms in three SEL domains: Emotional Development, Self-Concept, and Social Competence. These surveys may be taken up to four times per school year to track progress trajectories. Available: https://selwisconsin.wisc.edu/

See our website training calendar for more information and registration.
