What are the key steps in implementing school-wide SEL?
Implementing school-wide SEL involves a cycle of 10 key steps and simultaneous attention to six related “sustainability” factors. The steps in the cycle can be grouped into three phases—readiness, planning, and implementation. Although these steps do not constitute a strictly linear progression, earlier steps generally have chronological priority. Since the steps constitute a cycle, it is expected that after their initial implementation, earlier steps in the process will be revisited at a later point in the cycle.
