October 2021 - NDSEL Network Website Launch
ND SEL Network Website Launched!
The ND Social-Emotional Learning Network
has officially launched its website containing
member profiles and SEL resources!
NDSEL Member Profile Quick Look
Member Profiles have been created for four of the current members through an interview process to highlight the work being done in their districts including Strengths, Problem of Practice, and Growth Opportunities.

The profile goes on to show how the member has engaged in each of the four approaches to SEL:
  1. Explicit Skills Instruction
  2. Teacher Instructional Practices
  3. SEL Strategies to Enhance Climate & Culture
  4. Integration into Academic Curricula

The Facilitators of Systemic SEL are also included along with how the member has established processes to incorporate and address each:
  1. Infrastructure and Support
  2. Assessment
  3. Fidelity & Evaluation
  4. Multi-Tier Instruction
  5. Data-based Decision Making

Each member profile then closes out with Stories / Testimonies surrounding the work and the team making it happen in their district.
NDSEL Newly Released Resources!
Two fantastic resources have been released along with the website launch in response to the need for districts/schools to help align their SEL work with their curriculum and content standards.
