CSI Advisory Committee
The following leaders are helping to guide the work of our Collaborating States Initiative, a community of practice comprised of over 35 state teams. The advisory group supports state teams in achieving their customized goals and plans—creating the conditions for the districts and schools in their state to implement evidence-based, equity-focused social and emotional learning policies and practices. The advisory group provides strategic support and input as CASEL supports states in leading the way to implement equitable learning environments for all students.
