Since 2016, the Social and Emotional Learning Fund has supported teachers implementing social and emotional learning in their classrooms. We celebrate and support fresh ideas and projects that create places, environments and practices that value belonging, well-being, tolerance, compassion, listening, non-violence, inclusiveness, working productively together and looking out for one another both as distinct skills or integrated within academics.
Meet the 2018-2019 Innovation Awardees. We’re thrilled to put their innovative work on display through our second edition of SEL in Action: Social and Emotional Learning Innovation Awards for Teachers and Districts.
This book and website showcase the highlights, challenges, tips and tricks to include SEL in schools and classrooms. It’s full of creative ideas and powerful stories of educators leading the way for more equitable, compassionate and creative environments for students. We hope that you’ll learn from their experience and adapt it into your own communities. We invite you to download a digital copy (40MB).
