"A holistic approach to building supportive communities for every child through social-emotional learning."
"School isn’t just a place to grow academically; it’s a place to grow as a person. When children feel safe, supported, and connected to their school, they’re better equipped to succeed academically and in life." - SecondStep.org
Social and emotional learning starts at home. Parents and families are critical partners in helping their children develop social and emotional know-how. They can model the kinds of skills, attitudes, and behaviors we want all students to master. And they can be important advocates for SEL at school. - SEL in Homes & Communities - CASEL.org
