Abstract

School leaders play a significant role in shaping education, and their leadership practices are key in conveying professional learning priorities for districts and schools. Concurrently, the benefits of adult social emotional learning (SEL) on creating conditions for educator effectiveness, wellbeing, and success have been demonstrated in the literature. This chapter chronicles initiatives undertaken by the Nevada Department of Education (NDE) to establish a systemic, sustainable, multi-tiered professional development structure and infrastructure aimed to foster adult SEL across the teaching and learning continuum, and ultimately to positively change student outcomes. Four initiatives are described, including the innovative approach of bringing together multiple projects to provide a virtual comprehensive support system in response to increased educator need.
