The Institute for Social and Emotional Learning empowers educators, young people, and parents to transform their schools into caring, inclusive communities.
Experiential learning at the heart of all our work enables educators to inspire young people to evolve into compassionate leaders and resilient learners.
Our work helps educators reshape how they see themselves, renew their inspiration and creativity,
and develop their ability to build more humanity and empathy into their dynamic role as instructor-facilitator.
Since 2009, the Institute for Social and Emotional Learning has designed and led professional development Institutes, Workshops and Consultations with 10,000+ educators, from over 1,000 schools in the United States and abroad.
We have hosted 22 four-day Institutes and many one- and two-day Workshops. Our team has led consultations with faculties from 200+ public and private schools across the US and Internationally.
