Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
CASEL IS A TRUSTED SOURCE FOR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIGH-QUALITY, EVIDENCE-BASED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL). OUR MISSION IS TO HELP MAKE EVIDENCE-BASED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) AN INTEGRAL PART OF EDUCATION FROM PRESCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
SUPPORT HIGH-QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION: CASEL EXPANDED PARTNERSHIPS AND RESOURCES TO SUPPORT HIGH-QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION IN SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS. IN 2011, CASEL LAUNCHED THE COLLABORATING DISTRICTS INITIATIVE (CDI), NOW CALLED COMMUNITY NETWORK PARTNERS (CNP) AS A NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP WITH LARGE, URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO CREATE SYSTEMIC AND SUSTAINABLE REFORMS IN DISTRICTS, AND ULTIMATELY TO SUPPORT NATIONAL SCALE THROUGH THE SHARING OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SEL IMPLEMENTATION. THE CNP FOCUSED ON SEL ACROSS ALL DISTRICT, SCHOOL, AND CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS AND COMMUNITIES. THE IMPACT OF THE CNP IS DEMONSTRATED BY PROMISING SCHOOL AND STUDENT OUTCOMES SUCH AS IMPROVEMENTS IN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND BEHAVIOR, SCHOOL CLIMATE, AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE.WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR DISTRICT PARTNERSHIPS TO MORE THAN 20 SCHOOL DISTRICTS WORKING DIRECTLY WITH CASEL, AS WELL AS LAUNCHED THE SEL FELLOWS PROGRAM. TOGETHER, WE ARE PURSUING CRITICAL EXAMINATIONS OF THE ROLES OF EQUITY, ADULT SEL, AND SEL AND ACADEMIC INTEGRATION AND CULTIVATING A THRIVING COMMUNITY TO SHARE PROGRESS AND DEEPEN THE WORK. WE SHARE THOSE LEARNINGS BROADLY THROUGH THE CREATION OF FIELD-TESTED RESOURCES AND TOOLS, LEVERAGING LESSONS LEARNED AND BEST PRACTICES GLEANED FROM DISTRICT PARTNERSHIPS. CASEL'S GROWING SUITE OF RESOURCES CONTINUES TO BE ACCESSED GLOBALLY AS A GO-TO RESOURCE FOR SEL. CASEL EXPANDED WORKSHOP AND WEBINAR OFFERINGS IN ORDER TO SHARE RESEARCH, BEST PRACTICES, AND RESOURCES WITH BROADER AUDIENCES. CASEL REGULARLY HOSTS WEBINARS WITH EXPERTS ACROSS THE FIELD ON CRITICAL, TIMELY TOPICS AS WELL AS PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISTRICT AND SCHOOL LEADERS PRIORITIZING SEL. IN ADDITION TO WORKSHOPS AND WEBINARS, OUR COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORMS REACH BROAD AUDIENCES THROUGH NEWSLETTERS, MEDIA, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND MORE.
RESEARCH, CONDUCTS ORIGINAL RESEARCH, AND SHARES FINDINGS FROM COLLEAGUES AND COLLABORATORS ACROSS RELATED FIELDS. CASEL PRIORITIZES THE ALL-IMPORTANT WORK OF DEFINING AND APPLYING RIGOROUS, HIGH-QUALITY, EVIDENCE-BASED THINKING TO THE GROWING FIELD OF SEL. WE PUBLISHED GROUND-BREAKING BOOKS THAT PUT SEL ON THE MAP, HIGHLIGHTING WHAT IT IS, HOW TO DO IT, AND WHY IT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED. WE CONDUCTED AND COLLABORATED ON SIGNIFICANT FIELD-ADVANCING RESEARCH THAT DEMONSTRATED THE LINK BETWEEN SEL AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, OTHER NEAR- AND LONG-TERM OUTCOMES, AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS. CASELS RESEARCH-PRACTICE PARTNERSHIPS TODAY INCLUDE COLLABORATIONS WITH ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOCUSED ON EQUITABLE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND EQUITABLE OUTCOMES FOR ALL STUDENTS.CASEL CONTINUED SUPPORTING STATES IN CREATING THE CONDITIONS FOR HIGH-QUALITY SEL IMPLEMENTATION IN THEIR DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS. IN 2016, CASEL LAUNCHED THE COLLABORATING STATES INITIATIVE (CSI), A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH FIVE STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO SUPPORT THE BROADER SCALE OF QUALITY SEL. NOW WORKING WITH MORE THAN 40 STATES REPRESENTING MORE THAN 90% OF DISTRICTS, SCHOOLS,TEACHERS, AND STUDENTS IN THE US, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR MUCH GREATER ADOPTION NATIONWIDE. WE CONVENED EXPERT ADVISORS AND NATIONAL EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE. THE CSI REGULARLY CONVENES ITS COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE TO SUPPORT PARTNER STATES. WE ALSO CREATED A COLLECTION OF 125 RESOURCES TO HELP STATES CREATE THEIR OWN POLICIES AND GUIDELINES AND ACHIEVE MORE FIDELITY IN IMPLEMENTATION. RESOURCES INCLUDE TOOLS TO HELP INTEGRATE SEL WITH STATE AND DISTRICT PRIORITIES; FRAMEWORKS FOR UNDERSTANDING AND ORGANIZING SEL; GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS; AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODULES.
SEL EXCHANGE: SINCE 2019, CASEL HAS HOSTED AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON SEL. THE SEL EXCHANGE IS A UNIQUE NATIONAL FORUM FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO CREATING CARING, PRODUCTIVE, AND EQUITABLE SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES THAT DEVELOP THE WHOLE CHILD AND ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS CAN THRIVE. WITH DEMAND FOR SEL AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH, THE SEL EXCHANGE IS THE TIME TO COME TOGETHER, SHARE WHAT WE KNOW, AND ANCHOR OURSELVES IN ADVANCING HIGH-QUALITY RESEARCH, IMPLEMENTATION PRACTICE, AND POLICIES. CASEL HOSTED THE 2023 SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING EXCHANGE IN ATLANTA, NOVEMBER 7-9. THE THEME WAS LEADERS AS LEARNERS: BUILDING THE VILLAGE OUR CHILDREN NEED, FOCUSED ON ADULT SEL.
