Meet with IFSEL

We at IFSEL are passionate about SEL! We want to learn more about your districts and schools, and share our SEL implementation experience.

We are offering 15 minute 'non-salesy' meetings for any educator.

To make this a productive 15 minutes, you can use our SEL Audit & Reflection Tool and we can review your responses when we meet or we can discuss other topics.

We promise to make this meeting worth your time.

What's in a Name?

Consider “What’s in a Name?” Think, write, and talk about the history, culture, pronunciation, and background of your names. This type of story exchange has the potential to build connection, understanding and a sense of belonging.
