This session examines how integrating SEL within PBIS and MTSS frameworks can improve teacher utilization, student behavior, and school climate. Using findings from a pilot study at Val Verde Unified School District, we’ll explore how teacher utilization of SEL grew from 8% to 75%, and how their students developed:
  • Stronger SEL competencies
  • Improved behavior, and
  • Better conflict resolution skills
Attendees will gain practical strategies to increase teacher buy-in and implementation fidelity, align SEL with academic and behavioral goals, and strengthen stakeholder support for sustainable SEL integration and higher ROI (return on investment). Through discussion, reflection, and interactive activities, participants will walk away with concrete tools to address implementation challenges and enhance SEL practices in their schools.
