The Power of SEL explores social and emotional learning, otherwise known as SEL, and how it relates to wellbeing and academic achievement. In this five-part podcast series, we share insights from 13 years of partnership between Education First and the NoVo Foundation and celebrate the achievements of over 1,000 grantees. Hosted by Emily Brookhart from Education First, each episode examines why SEL matters and how it works in classrooms, schools, and districts — including practices to engage students and educators and navigate challenges. We’ll also learn together about centering equity in SEL, building consensus and coalitions, and prioritizing student and educator wellbeing as we hear from teachers, administrators, and community leaders deeply involved in SEL.

Episode 2: How are educators implementing SEL?

In episode two, we uncover what social and emotional learning (SEL) actually looks like in our education system. We discuss how educators incorporate SEL into their curriculum and instruction, navigate challenges, and how they sustain and grow their SEL practices. We also hear from educators to learn how students across the country experience SEL in classrooms — benefiting them and their communities.

In this episode, we hear from a variety of incredible educators who have led SEL work as teachers, administrators, district leaders and consultants: Jeffery Austin, Dr. Bloodine Barthelus, Katie Raymond, Trish Shaffer, and Mai Xi Lee.
