Across the United States, educators and education leaders are increasingly recognizing the value of social and emotional learning (SEL), school climate, and related whole-person efforts as keys to enabling student success. Many school districts are still exploring or just beginning implementation of these whole-person efforts, and many have expressed the desire for exemplars from which they can learn. This guide aims to support state and regional leaders to identify districts or schools with notably positive outcomes in the areas of SEL and school climate, learn about those exemplars' strategies and experiences, and share their learnings in order to scale up whole-person efforts and outcomes. The report is divided into three sections: (1) Part 1: Quantitative Analyses to Identify Potential Exemplars; (2) Part 2: Qualitative Analysis to Verify and Finalize Exemplars; and (3) Next Steps: Communicate and Scale the Exemplars' Success.
