How we are growing

Our goal is to continue to foster local and global collaborations that contribute to our understanding of SEE Learning, CBCT for educators, whole school implementation processes, and the global development of schools that are both rigorous and grounded in fostering kids and communities that are kind, compassionate, resilient, and academically rigorous. We welcome the growth and development of this global research network. For any questions or to join the collaboration, contact us via email.

Building for change

Building from the education literature, seven domains have been identified as critical for implementation that is sustainable across a system. The key, when addressing sustainability, is a willingness to focus on what is possible across all domains vs. focusing on a single domain or area of implementation.
Those in leadership need skills and SEE understanding for implementation to thrive
Sustainable practices involves strategies that embed SEL into the educational landscape of the school works
Engaging families and communities creates a shared vision that enhances sustainability
Empowering students to actively participate in and contribute to the SEL process strengthens the school community and supports SEL sustainability
SEE must align with school initiatives as a part of shared goals that are communicated
Professional development includes SEL for adults to create supportive schools
Ongoing professional development  creates opportunities and spaces to strengthen educator development
