Who Are We, What We Do, and How We Do It

Canyons School District elementary SEL staff includes School Social Workers and School Counselors licensed through the Utah State Board of Education. They serve as imperative members of the school team supporting tier one social and emotional learning. In addition, these staff are knowledgeable in prevention and intervention strategies, PBIS, restorative practices, trauma-informed practices, childhood development, and community resources. SEL staff work towards transformative practices that lead students to school and life success. Students often face barriers that limit their ability to successfully progress academically, emotionally, and socially. SEL staff use the MTSS framework to effectively target student needs, reduce barriers, and build skills within students. The foundation of the implementation starts by assessing school needs, planning service delivery, and collecting and evaluating data. As illustrated below, SEL staff use a tiered approach to deliver schoolwide tier-one prevention programs. In addition, tier-two and tier-three interventions and supports are implemented and utilized based on school data and student needs. The CSD MTSS framework can be accessed here: https://isd.canyonsdistrict.org/index.php/resources/sst. Figure 1.2 MTSS Framework for Social Emotional Learning and Supports 2
