CASEL 2023 SEL Exchange

For the first time since 2019, the SEL Exchange is back in person! Join researchers, policy leaders, educators, and members of the SEL community as we explore the latest SEL innovations and evidence, with a focus on the importance of advancing adult SEL that promotes SEL for young people. Hosted by CASEL, the Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) Exchange is the nation’s largest forum on SEL. It is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect and learn with leaders from around the world.

The theme for 2023 is “Leaders as Learners: Building the Village Our Children Need.” When adults and students alike have meaningful, inclusive opportunities to learn and develop social and emotional skills, we build a village where everyone thrives.
