Collaborative For Academic Socialand Emotional Learning - Casel

State partnerships: 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. The csi regularly convenes its communities of practice to support partner states. We also convene expert advisors and national education organizations to support this initiative. Casel's collection of 125 resources helps states create high-quality sel policies and guidelines. 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 international 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 2024 social and emotional learning exchange in chicago, november 12-14. The theme was accelerate: academic thriving and lifelong learning, focused on the connection between sel and academics. More than 1,900 registered representing more than 270 schools, 47 u.s. States, and 36 countries. Altogether, our learning and work will reach 17.7 million students.
