Intersection of Equitable Practices in SEL

The need for social and emotional learning (SEL) has never been so clear. With students and adults worried about their health, combatting systemic and interpersonal inequities, and striving for strong social and emotional health, now is the time to ensure we focus on creating environments and experiences that promote social and emotional development in an equitable environment. To do this, educators need strategies to understand their own biases and assumptions, and practices that uplift and empower students to flourish and achieve their self-determined goals.
