Schools have a responsibility to adapt to a changing society. The pandemic and raised consciousness around social injustice underscores the important roles schools play in the lives of students, families, and their communities to promote the understanding of schools as more than academic institutions alone.

The objective in creating modules around Multi-Tiered SEL and Mental Health in Distance Learning is to give guidance to educators on how to create conditions of mental well-being in which youth and adults are socially and emotionally supported. This guidance prioritizes inclusive practices, a sense of belonging, and relationships to support the whole child and adults within schools.

These modules include content around foundations of social-emotional learning for students and adults, integrated SEL practices for students and adults, universal and supplemental behavioral supports virtually, supporting student mental health within a continuum of support, and promoting educator self-care.
