SEL Delivery and Support
Mental health is now more important than ever in these unprecedented times. The Kansas Teaching & Leading Project offers SEL instruction to schools in order to create consistent opportunities for students to cultivate, practice, and reflect on social and emotional competencies in ways that are developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive. These opportunities provide dedicated time to focus on social and emotional competencies.

What can we consider or do next?
The How Learning Works series provides real tools to educators and service providers in youth-serving settings. These tools will allow us all to better align our practices with what science says about human learning.
The 34 video series will walk educators through what science has taught us about learning, how to foster strong positive relationships, cultivating a mindset of belonging, establishing positive conditions for learning, trauma-informed considerations, and numerous options for engaging learners and families outside of the classroom.
