This document discusses the importance of social and emotional learning (SEL) and the role of educational leaders in implementing and sustaining SEL programs. It outlines that SEL helps students develop skills to manage emotions, relationships, and decisions, providing benefits for academic performance, health, and citizenship. Research shows SEL instruction improves achievement test scores and skills. The document emphasizes that strong leadership is essential for successful adoption of SEL, and leaders must model SEL skills, communicate vision, and ensure adequate resources and staff support over time.

Implementing and Sustaining Social and Emotional Learning: Educational Leader Competencies Half Hollow Hills Central School District Leadership Council January 21, 2009 Adapted from Mary Utne O’Brien, Jennifer Axelrod, Edward Dulaney, Kristy Ogren Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) 2006
What is SEL? SEL is the process through which children and adults acquire the skills to recognize and manage their emotions, demonstrate caring and concern for others, establish positive relationships, make responsible decisions, and handle challenging situations effectively. This skill set provides the foundation for academic achievement, maintenance of good health, and civic engagement in a democratic society.
Social and Emotional Development and Learning (SEDL) In accordance with New York State Children’s Mental Health Act 2006 and Education Law Section 305 subdivision 35 , the Commissioner (of education) shall, in cooperation with the Commissioner of mental health, develop guidelines for voluntary implementation by school districts that incorporate social and emotional development into elementary and secondary school education programs. Social emotional development is the process “through which children and adults acquire the skills to recognize and manage their emotions, demonstrate caring and concern for others, establish positive relationships, make responsible decisions, and handle challenging situations effectively. This skill set provides the foundation for academic achievement, maintenance of good health, and civic engagement in a democratic society." Social and emotional development and learning (SEDL) has an important role to play in: enhancing the daily smooth functioning of schools and the emergence of a safe, caring and supportive school climate; facilitating students’ holistic development; and enabling student motivation and capability for academic learning

Reflection Think of an outstanding leader you have known. Select someone you have had as a supervisor or, at a minimum, have seen in action. Reflect on the qualities this leader possesses. Those qualities that in your eyes make great leaders.
Smart leaders know that they are models for everybody in the organization. They know that their behavior influences others and work hard at monitoring themselves as they monitor, develop, & encourage others’ performance. They understand that positive organizational change requires that individuals change. Change requires that everyone develops their social and emotional competencies, including the leader. --Janet Patti (2003)
Emotional Intelligence Dan Goleman’s best seller in 1995 helped us to be able to talk about the power of emotions. In the business world, developing one’s social and emotional competencies has become known as essential to effective leadership.
School Example Study compared 12 outstanding and 8 “typical” principals Analyses showed that outstanding principals were distinguished by their self-management skills (emotional self-awareness, adaptability, etc.) & their relationship management skills (empathy, developing others, etc.) --Williams (2003)
How Important is the Role of the Leader? It’s the single biggest factor in predicting whether school reform takes hold and yields benefits to students. Berends, Bodilly, & Nataraj Kirby (2002)
Kam, Greenberg, & Walls (2003) Found that above and beyond high-quality program implementation, active, engaged, principal support for the work of the teachers was essential to stronger impacts on children.
SEL Implementation and Sustainability Process E. Nurture partnerships with families & communities A. Provide ongoing professional development B. Monitor and evaluate for continuous improvement C. Develop infrastructure to support SEL D. Integrate SEL framework school-wide 5. Develop action plan 6. Select evidence- based program 4. Conduct needs and resources assessment 3. Develop and articulate shared vision 7. Conduct initial staff development 8. Launch SEL instruction in classrooms 9. Expand instruction and integrate SEL school- wide 10. Continue cycle of implementing and improving 2. Engage stakeholders and form steering committee 1. Principal commits to school- wide SEL F. Communicate w/stakeholders (marketing) Leadership © 2006. CASEL.
Understanding The Scope of Implementing SEL There Are Logical Steps And Stages To Implementation... It Doesn’t Have To Be Linear Often it takes both a vision and a crisis Leadership is at the center But will it improve student achievement? Know the SEL competencies Understand brain development
Understanding The Scope of Implementing SEL (cont.) Establish A Planning Team Know Your Starting Point What Are Some Key Challenges? Set Expectations For Outcomes and Improvement Plan To Assess and Evaluate Implementation (Results) Takes Time
What Can Leaders Can Do to Promote Sustainability? Model SEL skills and language Make SEL part of staff meetings Use SEL language with staff Set expectations about how long this work will take and likely pitfalls along the way
What Can Leaders Can Do to Promote Sustainability? (Cont.) Foster staff leadership Involve teacher leaders in training and staff development Have teachers leaders assist with grant writing/fundraising Have staff contribute to the planning process
What Can Leaders Can Do to Promote Sustainability? (Cont.) Ensure sufficient resources are available , including: - Time - Space - Money
Serve as program spokesperson - Use formal and informal networks to communicate with parents and community - Promote program in local newspapers, radio/TV shows What Can Leaders Can Do to Promote Sustainability? (cont.)
What Can Leaders Can Do to Promote Sustainability? (cont.) Create ongoing, two-way communication with staff Create opportunities for staff to voice concerns or provide feedback about implementation process Have staff share innovative practices with each other Provide information about why program was chosen and invite input on how to make it work
Final Observation Eric Schaps, developer of another acclaimed SEL program, states that a program is never fully or permanently established. “It must be championed, monitored, assessed, and budgeted for, from the top down (district level) and the bottom up (school level), with ongoing staff development for new personnel.” Schaps concludes that, paradoxically, although it is most effective when it is fully embedded in school operations and planning, SEL programming must be championed by the leader as a distinct entity as well.
A Classic SEL “Meta-Cognitive” Model STOP, CALM DOWN, & THINK before you act Say the PROBLEM and how you FEEL Set a POSITIVE GOAL Think of lots of SOLUTIONS Think ahead to the CONSEQUENCES GO ahead and TRY the BEST PLAN
