What Educators Say

Learn more about Washoe County SEL ( an exceptional national model for SEL as a district) and Stephan Molder, one of the teachers I have been supporting the most and now one of my close friends. He has done truly great things with his SEL work in the classroom and has recently expanded to support other teachers doing the work as well.

Check out this blog post from teacher, Timiko, on her journey from training to struggle to radical gratitude with her High School School-Connect class. She attended School-Connect Summer Institute and participated in a year-long email PLC teacher support group.

What Administrators and Schools Say

Learn more about one of the schools Keeth has worked with the most in this EdWeek blog post. Damonte Ranch’s SEL program has shown amazing results going from 80% graduation rate to 94% and 2027 discipline events to 250.

This Edutopia Series on New Mexico School for the Arts, highlights the amazing things that have happened since Keeth helped them launch their SEL program in 2012.

This ExSELent Edutopia video on greeting at the door is from one of the schools Keeth has done climate and culture work with. This teacher (Kaly Krentz) really made the material her own and her video has inspired many.
