CONNECTING SCHOOLWIDE SEL WITH OTHER
SCHOOL-BASED FRAMEWORKS
"Some of the most common frameworks for organizing student supports are Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Adopting schoolwide SEL does not mean that a school must abandon these existing frameworks. Rather, schoolwide SEL offers an opportunity to enhance or refine existing systems of support."

TRAUMA INFORMED STRATEGIES
"A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system; and responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and seeks to actively resist retraumatization." (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA], 2014, p. 9).
