Implementation Overview

Exploration

The activities in the exploration stage are essential for making sure your school is ready to move on to focusing on adult, and then eventually student, SEL. All schools including SEL cohort schools should start here.

MPS Vision for Adult SEL, Resources for Developing Adult SEL Skills & Core Components

Once you've completed the activities in the exploration stage, you're ready to move on to developing the SEL skills of the adults in your building using the resources for developing adult SEL skills and core components.

Direct Instruction

Consistent opportunities for students to cultivate, practice, and reflect on social and emotional skills in ways that are developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive. These opportunities provide dedicated time to focus on social and emotional skills.

Academic Integration

Integrating and aligning SEL with academics is important because it optimally supports social and emotional development throughout the school day and helps educators make connections that will support social and emotional development in a variety of school contexts.
