Recipients and Project Descriptions
The SEL in Action Awards for Educators and Districts sought proposals from individual educators and teams of educators seeking to improve systems that foster social and emotional skills in fresh, inventive or innovative ways. Examples include novel interventions or instructional practices focused on improving competencies such as resilience, learning mindsets, compassion, self-management and sense of belonging.

- Students from Indigenous communities
- New arrivals (such as refugees) or immigrants
- English learners
- LGBTQI+ students
- Girls and young women of color
- Students disproportionately affected by suspensions or the juvenile justice system
- Students with learning disabilities
- Students impacted by housing inequities or homelessness
