Developing Adults’ Capacity to Promote SEL

In order to successfully and fully support students' social and emotional development, it's crucial for adults in schools and out-of-school time (OST) programs to develop knowledge and skills that will allow them to provide high-quality instruction and create a welcoming climate.

Partnerships between schools and out-of-school time (OST) programs are an integral facet to supporting youth development, especially due to the high potential to accelerate children's social and emotional development.

It's no easy feat successfully rolling out multi-site SEL efforts.
