Implementation in Austin ISD
Beginning in 2010, SEL implementation began rolling out systems and strategies through AISD’s vertical team structure. A vertical team consists of a high school and its feeder middle and elementary schools. As of 2015–16, all schools in AISD are officially implementing SEL.
Also established in the 2010–11 school year, Cultural Proficiency and Inclusiveness worked to embed depth of thought and action among adult educators by providing professional learning sessions on how to interact with students and their families in a manner that considers the diverse needs of all.
In 2021, AISD reorganized the department to form one SEL and CP&I team with one mission focused on creating deeper, richer, more inclusive, and equitable experiences and environments for our students, staff, and the community at large.
Today, each campus has an assigned SEL and CP&I specialist who supports implementation by providing coaching, professional learning, campus support, and resource co-creation.
Austin ISD is proud to be recognized as a leader in urban education and one of the first districts in the nation to commit to the development of the whole child by incorporating social and emotional learning.
