76. Integrating Social-Emotional Learning to Improve Student Achievement (SWBOCESS CSS April 2026)
Program: RECOVS Mental Health Grant Year 2 (2025)
Dates: 4/13/2026

Even when educators believe in the value of social-emotional learning (SEL), SEL can feel like something "extra.” This session will ground educators in how SEL is integral to academic achievement (and success in the world at large). Then, we will explore strategies for embedding attention to social-emotional learning in academic instruction, and participants will apply their learning to plan for the 2025-26 school year.
Participants will be able to:

• Understand and articulate how social-emotional learning (SEL) is essential-not additional-to academic success and lifelong achievement, drawing connections to the New York State SEL Benchmarks, CASEL Core Competencies, and the New York State Portrait of a Graduate.

• Identify and analyze how the integration of SEL within academic instruction supports student engagement, motivation, and achievement across content areas.

• Explore and apply evidence-based strategies to embed SEL into instructional practices using tools such as the CASEL 3 Signature Practices and the CASEL Frame Coach Reflect framework.

• Design actionable plans to integrate SEL intentionally into classroom instruction and school-wide practices for the 2025-26 school year, with a focus on sustainable impact and alignment with district and state priorities.

• Reflect on current practices and identify opportunities to strengthen SEL integration at the classroom, school, and systems levels.
