Educators who have contributed to development of the MA SEL Resources for Grades 1–3
As we post the SEL Resources for Grades 1-3 online for use by any and all early childhood educators, we want to acknowledge and thank many educators across the Commonwealth who contributed time, talent, and a wealth of experience to Resource development. The twenty-three educators in the first list below met three to five times each year for full days across one or more of the three years when content and structure were being determined. Later, during the Resources pilot, over 150 educators from 80-plus MA school districts volunteered to review and/or try out one or more of the thirteen draft Resources. In addition, we thank the many reviewers of revised drafts at DESE, and especially Linda Dusenbury from CASEL. Feedback from all sources informed the current version of the Resources.
Please note: The Early Learning Team at DESE expects to continue to add to, revise and edit these documents in years to come, and welcomes ongoing feedback. Please send suggestions or comments to achievement@mass.gov or call 781-338-3010.
