AWRSD Strategic Plan - Universal Social Emotional Learning Goal #2: SEL Curriculum

Theory of Action: If we develop and implement consistent readiness and wellness processes to address social/emotional, mental health, behavioral, and academic preparedness in a safe environment, then students’ social emotional core competencies will increase. 

SMART Goal: By the end of the 2026-2027 school year we will improve universal SEL support across the district as measured by an improvement in DESSA screener scores and discipline data. 

Strategic Initiative 2.2: Provide direct instruction to all students around the core competencies of SEL to better provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing setting for all learners.
