Practice Continuous Improvement

High-quality SEL implementation is an ongoing process that calls on districts to continuously iterate and improve. Continuous improvement refers to a deliberate and structured process of addressing problems or improving outcomes. This focus area helps district collect and reflect on data, address challenges, and build upon successes to continuously improve SEL implementation.

Read the definition of full implementation under each item before selecting a rating. A ‘4’ rating indicates that the full definition is met.

Document implementation and outcomes (Do)

The district consistently documents SEL implementation, including ongoing successes and challenges they encounter throughout the year, and monitors the implementation process to address challenges that arise. The district follows the timelines established in SEL plans to collect implementation and outcome data to ensure this information can be leveraged by district- and school-level teams for continuous improvement throughout the year.
Assess Implementation
  • Not yet started
  • Establishing how to best document implementation and outcomes
  • Beginning to document implementation and outcomes
  • Following data collection timelines; prepared to manage data collection challenges
  • Consistently documenting implementation and outcomes
  • Data collection timelines followed; successfully manage data collection challenges

Establish continuous improvement processes, roles, and responsibilities (Plan)

The district has established a process for monitoring and reflecting on district- and school-level SEL implementation and progress toward goals. This includes clear roles, responsibilities, and timelines for the continuous improvement process and a commitment to reflecting on data throughout the year. The district provides support and tools to help school teams establish their own processes to improve SEL practice.
