Participants who complete the course will earn a certificate of completion and will come away with a workbook of reflection activities to build on in a follow-up discussion with others who have taken the course. Within the course there is also a facilitation guide if you plan to use this course to facilitate an in-person learning experience, and three discussion guides to use after the course to keep learning relevant and at the forefront throughout the year.

CASEL’s in-depth, multi-session course is for SEL teams that are ready to lead SEL strategic planning and implementation in a school setting. Learning is structured around CASEL’s Guide to Schoolwide SEL. Throughout the course, participants take action to assess their school’s strengths and areas for growth, develop a shared vision and measurable SEL goals, define action steps, and explore tools they can use with their school community.
Leading Schoolwide SEL is available as a self-paced course or a facilitated in-person or virtual series. It can also be tailored to suit your district audience’s prior knowledge, SEL implementation experience, and key priorities. CASEL staff can support data collection, reporting, and analysis, and prepare your team to support schools as they tackle action steps.
