SEL Curricula

After a thorough selection process, DPS approved three SEL Curricula to guide SEL competency development in our elementary and seondary schools. All curricula are evidence based, align with academic standards, and are SAFE principles (Sequenced, Active, Focused and Explicit) and supports a supportive learning enviroment. These videos and the link to the websites should support school based teams beginning to explore these two SEL curricula.

Restorative Practices Resources

DPS is committed to a restorative approach to SEL, which means that we work with students rather than doing things to them or for them. Here are some basic resources for planning restorative classroom discussions.
