The current document serves two purposes. First, it provides an overview of six key features of a high-quality, comprehensive package of policies and guidance to support student social and emotional learning (SEL). These features are based on Collaborative for Academic Social, and Emotional Learning's (CASEL's) review of the research literature on learning standards and SEL as summarized in Dusenbury et al. (2015). The six key features represent policies and guidance that are comprehensive and robust in that they are culturally and linguistically sensitive and developmentally appropriate, as well as connected to positive learning environments and professional development (Figure 1 gives an overview of the six key features). Second, this document provides examples from other states and districts that illustrate each of the key features of high-quality policies and guidance for SEL.
