Following up on our SEL program guide, Safe and sound: An educational leaderís guide to evidence-based social and emotional learning (SEL) programs, CASEL’s latest tool for front-line educators provides answers to questions we hear repeatedly from educators, such as, “Now that I have selected a good program, how do I integrate it with the rest of what goes on in my school? How do I implement and sustain it in a high-quality way? How can we measure the positive effects these efforts are having on our students, staff, and climate?”

This 158-page guide synthesizes research literatures on school reform and organizational change, and summarizes the state of the science of implementation and sustainability of interventions. The research-based information is supplemented with interviews with experts throughout the field—researchers, seasoned educators, and developers of top programs.

Special sections of the 158-page Implementation Guide include:

• Descriptions and explanations of SEL research demonstrating how providing SEL to students improves their academic performance
• The unique and pivotal role of the school leader
• Six research-based factors essential to implementation success
• The steps and cycles of implementation
  SEL learning standards
• A self-assessment and planning rubric
• Case studies of schoolwide SEL implementation
