Addressing The Need For Systemic Implementation of Social Emotional Learning

<p>Two alarming trends are on the rise in schools, the rise of school violence and school shootings, and our nation’s hyper-focus on academics and standardized test scores. I argue that schools have a societal responsibility as stewards of the public to prepare students academically, socially, and emotionally to ensure well-being in school, life, and work in the 21st Century. I will also argue that not teaching social emotional learning (SEL) in schools is a disservice to our students, our school culture, and our community at large. This change leadership plan illustrates the “As Is” (Wagner et al., 2006) of a district lacking systemic SEL, and the “To Be” (Wagner et al., 2006) of a district with viable SEL curriculum and programming.</p>
