Members of CASEL's previous Leadership Team have been groundbreaking
partners with CASEL on projects that advance the science and practice of social
and emotional learning (SEL); thus they are an intrinsic part of the Collaborator
Network, and are acknowledged as Founding Members of the Network
Role
In addition to serving CASEL's mission and strategic agenda by joining in the project work of CASEL's President and/or Executive Director (or in addition to inviting CASEL to join and actively participate in work proposed and sponsored by the collaborating partner), Network Collaborators also promote the work of CASEL among their associates and networks; collaborate with other Network members; and share information concerning resources and opportunities, as well as their professional expertise, whenever possible. Network members are thought-provoking, catalytic and stimulating partners and advocates for CASEL's work.

Background
Collaboration is central to CASEL's history, identity, and modus
operandi. CASEL began as entirely volunteer collaborative of individuals
from diverse disciplines with a shared commitment to advancing the
science and practice of SEL. Even as CASEL developed a funded central
staff, its volunteer advisory Leadership Team continued to be a
primary source of strategic counsel and active collaboration on
projects. In addition, almost all major funded projects and strategic
directions that CASEL has undertaken began with a convening of outside
experts who advised us on directions needed by the field, and we
are guided along the way by Working Groups of experts whom we convene.
CASEL believes that cross-disciplinary
collaboration produces the richest insights, biggest impacts, and
best outcomes in work on behalf of children; thus the "C"
in CASEL stands for "Collaborative."
Current Collaborators
- Founding Members: This is the designation given to members of CASEL's original Leadership Team.
- Project Working Group Members: CASEL has several active working Groups and many more have operated in past years. Current work groups include the (a) SEL Provider Workgroup (b) Preschool to Elementary School SEL Workgroup, reviewing developmentally and socio-culturally appropriate strategies and instruments for assessing young children’s social and emotional development; (c) Illinois Assessment Workgroup, reviewing SEL assessment tools being used in the state with the aim of identifying tools and strategies that might be used by 87 pilot schools located throughout Illinois; and (d) Research Advisory Group, identifying high-priority SEL research projects to pursue in the near future.
- Educators: Leaders at school and district sites that collaborate in ongoing ways with CASEL to develop standards and implement schoolwide SEL. At present, this group includes those from CPS and IL; Singapore Ministry of Education; Basque Region; Anchorage, Alaska School District; and the New York City Department of Education.
