Based on a three-year study funded by the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools (OSDFS) in the U.S. Department of Education, "Safe and Sound" is a comprehensive and inclusive guide for social and emotional learning (SEL) programming. The guide provides a road map for schools and districts that are launching or adding social, emotional, and academic learning programs. The report reviews 80 multi-year, sequenced SEL programs designed for use in general education classrooms. "Safe and Sound" also offers guidance to educational leaders on how to integrate typically isolated or fragmented SEL efforts with other school activities and academic instruction by providing a framework for putting the pieces together. The Illinois version includes the original material, plus an introduction about the precedent-setting Illinois SEL standards and policies, and a listing of the K-12 SEL standards, goals, and benchmarks. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.)
