District-Wide Social Emotional Learning: Cultivating Champions to Build Capacity and Sustainability

​Studies show that when Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is implemented district-wide and the focus starts with adults first, the outcomes for success and sustainability are much more likely. Last year, Collaborative Learning Solutions and Kern High School District partnered in a new Professional Learning/Internal Champion Coaching model called "Social Emotional Learning 2.0."  A team from each of the 23 high schools in the district gathered together monthly. In these monthly meetings, they participated in a full day of highly interactive and engaging Professional Learning with the expectation that they would take this new learning back to their classrooms and sites and come back with stories of best practices and challenges to overcome.  These SEL Internal Champions also participated in an online Professional Learning network supporting each other with ideas, questions, resources, and inspiration.  Learn how to use SEL and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports to become catalysts for positive change!
