This document discusses social emotional learning (SEL) and Irving's approach to SEL. SEL involves developing competencies in self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. Irving uses a multi-tiered system of supports including universal SEL instruction, targeted group interventions, and intensive individualized interventions. Programs like Second Step are used at the universal level. Small groups, counseling, and restorative practices are examples of targeted interventions. Irving's goals over three years are to equip staff with SEL skills, provide opportunities for students to learn and practice SEL skills, and integrate SEL into partnerships with other school organizations.
