Agenda Item Summary: According to the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) model, Social Emotional Academic Learning (SEAL) practices at the Tier 1 level cultivate a caring, participatory, and equitable learning environment using evidence-based practices that actively involve all students in their social, emotional, and academic growth. Implementation of SEAL in ACPS began with adult Professional Learning (PL) including but not limited to the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Interface workshop and Trauma Informed SEAL PL. Three ACPS elementary schools are piloting a trauma informed SEAL pilot curriculum, RULER.
Background: The social-emotional and behavioral component of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is also referred to as Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS), a framework that includes consistent school-wide practices and intervention strategies to encourage positive student behavior.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the information provided in this School Board presentation.
