SEL for Ohio is a network that connects practitioners, parents, and other education-focused leaders and stakeholders who are implementing SEL in their learning environments and homes. We work to support those who are scaling systemic, evidence-based, equity-focused SEL with the goal of fostering the educational, personal, and professional success of Ohio’s children and young people.
We envision Ohio as a model for a world where all schools and youth-serving organizations are centers of safe, caring, and supportive activity where youth and adults are empathetic, resilient, civically engaged and culturally aware. We envision Ohio as a state where all children develop the skills to solve problems, manage emotions, and form positive relationships with others.
