Join us this fall at the Black SEL Summit:

Black SEL Summit looks to reach, teach and build a system of strong black leaders that understand the importance of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and ways to expose and sustain SEL in black communities. Black SEL will highlight and elevate the educators and voices of African American people in the social-emotional field. We are looking to create healthy dialog around policy, critical race theory, and ways to expose social-emotional learning to surrounding communities and their key stakeholders.

➡️Black SEL Summit: The current education system is dominated by political narratives that devalue the very people that our schools are supposed to serve. The Black SEL Summit is a space for us to highlight the voices of African-American people in the field and speak to best practices, research, and solutions to sustain SEL in Black Communities.
