What is CalHOPE?
The CalHOPE Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Community of Practice is helping enable California's schools to be leaders in supporting proactive and early intervention as we collectively respond to the social, emotional, and mental health needs of students, families, and educators.
"Practices for fostering a positive school climate where students and staff feel a sense of connection and belonging."
- Greater Good for Education
Social and Emotional Learning Fundamentals:
SEL 101 from CASEL
Creating an SEL System in Your District
A systemic approach ensures that SEL is woven into all students’ educational experiences. More than a single lesson or activity, SEL is integrated across key settings where students live and learn: classrooms, schools, homes, and communities. It also aligns school district and state policies, resources, and actions to support SEL. Federal policies play a role in creating ripe conditions for supportive environments and rich learning experiences.
As demand for Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) continues to grow, so does SEL implementation. Systemic SEL is an approach to create equitable learning conditions that actively involve all Pre-K to Grade 12 students in learning and practicing social, emotional, and academic competencies.
