Join our discussion with SEL experts to explore why data-driven academic integration of SEL is so crucial in our schools. Our students deserve to be supported with a whole-child framework in a school environment built around acceptance, belonging, and connections. 
 
The discussion will cover: 
  • Why SEL is critical in our schools 
  • The federal and state education policies surrounding SEL 
  • Correlating the research around academic growth and SEL 
  • Benefits of assessment with CASEL-aligned curriculum for grades K–6 
  • Selecting the proper assessment tool 
  • Closing learning gaps through explicit SEL instruction
