Dr. Michael Mallery sits on nationwide Black SEL Director's panel at the 2023 Black SEL Summit in Durham, North Carolina.
At Windsor Public Schools, we are thrilled to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of our award-winning Social Emotional Learning (SEL) department, led by Dr. Michael Mallery Jr., the district Coordinator of Social-Emotional Learning. Recently, Dr. Mallery showcased his expertise and insights in an op-ed piece for EdWeek titled "What Data-Driven SEL Has Done for My District". This significant contribution sheds light on the transformative potential that data holds in elevating social-emotional learning experiences.

The SEL Department's outstanding efforts were recognized with the prestigious "SEL Impact Award" from Aperture Education, a leading provider of CASEL-aligned K-12 SEL assessment, strategies, and reporting.
The recognition doesn't stop there. Damion Morgan, SEL specialist at Clover Street School, also made a noteworthy contribution by penning his own enlightening op-ed for ESchool News titled "Using SEL to Support Before and After-School Programs." These valuable insights emphasize the multifaceted application of SEL in enriching students' experiences beyond the traditional classroom setting.
