SEL Legislation Spotlight

May 2021

Three states enacted legislation in support of SEL in recent weeks. We’re sharing information about these new acts as well as pending SEL legislation from across the country.

IN SB0205—Passed

Teacher training

On April 22, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed into law IN SB0205, setting new standards for teacher training programs including evidence-based social emotional learning practices. This bill, which sets new standards for teacher training programs, including mandatory youth suicide awareness and prevention training, also mandates that these programs consider training teachers in evidence-based SEL practices. Learn more about IN SB0205.

NJ S2486—Passed

Establishes Clayton Model Pilot Program in DOE to provide school-based social emotional learning to students in grades kindergarten through five at certain public schools

On May 11, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed into law NJ S2486, establishing the Clayton Model Pilot Program in DOE to provide school-based social emotional learning to students in grades K-5 at certain public schools. This bill to pilot SEL programs in schools across New Jersey passed with strong support. With this new law in place, the “Clayton Model,” proven to positively impact students’ social and emotional health, academic performance, and caregivers’ supports, will be expanded across the state. Learn more about NJ S2486.

WA SB5044—Passed

Concerning professional learning, equity, cultural competency, and dismantling institutional racism in the public school system

On May 5, Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed into law WA SB5044, supporting changes to WA schools for professional learning, equity, cultural competency, and dismantling institutional racism in the public school system.

CASEL  & CFC Request Funding for SEL Programs

Our partners Committee for Children (CFC) and the Collaborative for Academic and Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) are inviting national, state and local organizations to sign onto a letter asking Labor, Health and Human Services and Education (LHHS-ED) leadership to fund programs that support SEL at least at $784 million in their FY 2022 spending bill.
