Reclaim Social-Emotional Learning: Centering Organizing Praxis for Holistically Safe Schools Report

In 2020 Communities for Just Schools Fund worked with national network of partners (youth, parent, and teacher-led organizing groups) to press back on harmful narratives about safety -- and to instead place conversations about safety into the more holistic, appropriate container of culturally-affirming social-emotional learning (SEL). Through the year-long Community of Practice, they collected survey data from partners about their work related to safety and SEL. The findings from this year-long exploration of culturally-affirming SEL are detailed in this report.
