What can student support services professionals do to promote SEL?
Student support services (SSS) professionals’ knowledge of human behavior, program planning and evaluation, community resources, classroom management strategies, and the challenges to learning that students may be experiencing at home make them valuable members of an SEL steering committee. Their perspective on student needs and the resources being used to address these needs is essential to an adequate SEL needs and resources assessment. Since their work is not confined to the classroom, they also bring an important perspective to identifying school-wide SEL programming needs.
