Why is SEBL Essential?
To promote students’ social, emotional and behavioral competence, it is important for schools to have supportive staff environments that foster competence and capacity among the adults on campus. Students experience academic, social, emotional and behavioral success when schools use data to build inclusive and equitable core social, emotional and behavioral practices; develop prevention activities; and implement high-quality interventions to meet students’ needs. When implemented systematically, SEBL integration becomes sustainable within the everyday environment and produces benefits across all settings.
