There are many educators, advocates, and leaders who ensure that Black and Brown children have access to the tools, resources, and support needed to advance and sustain social-emotional learning.
Black SEL looks to reach, teach and build a system of strong black leaders that understand the importance of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and ways to expose and sustain SEL in black communities.
We carefully curated panel discussions that focus on current issues students, parents, teachers, and communities experience when it comes to Social Emotional Learning. Panelists and moderators have extensive experience and critical perspectives within the SEL field. Click links below to learn more about each panel and access resources from discussion.
