Transforming Education
Project Title
For support to incorporate a racial equity lens into socio-emotional learning tools and resources
Date
Mar. 10, 2022
Duration
12 months
Description
While district leaders and practitioners largely recognize the importance of socio-emotional learning (SEL) to academic and lifelong success, they often lack the tools needed to implement SEL in a comprehensive and equitable way. Transforming Education (TransformEd) partners with districts, schools, and community-based organizations serving over one million students across the country to effectively integrate SEL into the learning experience. TransformEd also develops and disseminates open-source resources that reach educators across the world. Prior Corporation support enabled TransformEd to participate in a comprehensive equity training process focused on building staff capacity to create culturally responsive resources and deliver services in an equitable way. Continued support will allow TransformEd to advance the staff capacity building efforts and develop an internal playbook to guide the organization’s approach to providing equitable SEL services to schools and districts.

While district leaders and practitioners largely recognize the importance of socio-emotional learning (SEL) to academic and lifelong success, they often lack the tools needed to implement SEL in a comprehensive and equitable way. Transforming Education (TransformEd) partners with districts, schools, and community-based organizations serving over one million students across the country to effectively integrate SEL into the learning experience. TransformEd also develops and disseminates open-source resources that reach educators across the world. Given this wide reach, TransformEd is planning to participate in a comprehensive equity training process. With Corporation support, TransformEd will complete three equity design cycles and receive coaching from Equity Meets Design to ensure that its direct service approach and resources are culturally relevant and contribute to equitable outcomes for students.
