La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Students classified as Emotionally Disturbed (ED) warrant special concern for society. Students in this category generally have the worst prognosis in terms of high school graduation, academic achievement, and future problems with anti-social behavior as compared to other students.
Specifically, students classified as ED have the highest drop-out rate, fail more courses, miss more days of school, are suspended more, earn the lowest grades, are more likely to be involved in the criminal justice system, and are more likely to be retained at grade as compared to all other groups of students nation-wide.
Finally, because of their disproportionate representation in the category of ED, the outcomes of this classification are particularly devastating to African American males.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process of acquiring the
skills to recognize and manage emotions, develop empathy for others, make responsible decisions, establish positive relationships, and handle challenging situations effectively. SEL programming can help re-mediate the challenges that students with ED in the following ways:
1)Programs outside of an SEL framework are often treated as additions to the core curriculum instead of integral parts of that curriculum. This isolation reduces their conceptual coherence and sustainability.
2)Because of the varying goals of these programs, they tend to be implemented in short-term ways with little connection to each other. This fragmentation dilutes the potential effectiveness of these programs and negatively affects sustainability.
As such, promoting an SEL framework in schools will increase the coherence of programming, promote sustainability, and support the social and emotional development of students classified as ED.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
After years of improvement, a school in our district that served students classified as ED was in trouble. Their grades were down and anti-social student behavior was on the rise. The school had introduced a myriad of programs including Emotional Literacy, Second Step, the Power of Choice and PBIS to name a few. Combined with the introduction of Common Core academic standards the teachers in school were exhausted. Programming that was being implemented with purpose and enthusiasm before was now lackluster as teachers experienced initiative overload. Program outcomes faltered, and the administration proposed bringing in additional programming to address those new challenges.
The school called a district specialist in to help get back their positive outcomes. They wanted to improve their program fidelity and sustainability while increasing teacher buy-in to the work.
Instead of recommending new programming, the specialist worked to align their programming to a SEL framework, creating a common language that was focused on outcomes that the whole school community could understand. They worked to make connections between various program and reduced overlaps while strengthening other areas based on student data. The team conducted a sustainability review to determine whether their systems were adequate to sustain quality programming. Instead of seeing six different programs and activities operating in their school, teachers began to see one framework - SEL, and the programming to support it.
As a result, fidelity increased, and program outcomes were restored.

SEL programming in District 75 is supported by the Health Emotion and Behavior Laboratory at Yale University. Our department works in tandem with the departments of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, Literacy, Health, Arts, and Transition to support schools development, implementation, and sustainability of a coordinated approach to student social and emotional development.
The SEL framework is unique because it does not necessarily recommended a specific curriculum or approach as much as it provides a framework for multiple approaches to speak to each other with regards to outcomes and program activities.
The major limitation in growth is capacity. With budget cuts, the district only hires one SEL specialist for all of its 56 school organizations.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
According to studies, SEL participants demonstrated significantly improved social and emotional skills, attitudes, behavior, and academic performance that reflected an 11-percentile-point gain in achievement.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We are in the process of purchasing the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA) in order to better measure student growth in the following areas : Self-Management, Social-Awareness, Self-Awareness, Goal Directed Behavior, Relationship Skills, Personal Responsibility, Decision Making, and Optimistic Thinking. These areas are related to psychological resilience and are areas of remediation that will allow our students to leave District 75 for a less restrictive educational placement.

Social Emotional Learning has the potential to address many of the challenges faced by our students classified as ED, but it must be high quality and delivered with a coordinated approach and clear outcomes. I realized this when I went to support a school and the teachers had only a vague idea about SEL programming in the school and could not articulate how it helped students be college and career ready. Furthermore, the counselors in the school, responsible for students’ social-emotional development could not speak to how their counseling dovetailed with programming in the school. To be effective, SEL instruction should be coordinated, ubiquitous, and systemic in the school environment. Because students classified as ED have such challenging outcomes, if we can affect this small population of students, we can have a huge effect on educational and societal outcomes at large.

In order for this approach to go district wide, it is useful to have funding to show that these ideas are relevant and important to individuals outside the District. This vote of confidence will help support the argument for additional funding to achieve our goals.
