SEL Curricula 

Middle & High School SEL Curricula

After a thorough selection process, DPS approved two SEL Curricula to guide SEL competency development in our middle and high schools. We look forward to early adoption at a few schools this fall as we prepare for full implementation in spring. These videos and the link to the websites should support school based teams beginning to explore these two SEL curricula.

Restorative Practices Resources

DPS is committed to a restorative approach to SEL, which means that we work with students rather than doing things to them or for them. Here are some basic resources for planning restorative classroom discussions.
