This document guides practitioners through a five-session coaching series on how to use the SEL research literature to identify evidence-based SEL interventions to implement in their districts. The materials are based on five virtual coaching sessions coaching that REL Northeast & Islands provided to Massachusetts school district leaders over a period of one year. The slide presentation, exercises, and worksheets have been adapted to meet the needs of self-guided learners. Practitioners who did not have the opportunity to attend the SEL Coaching Series can use this guide to familiarize themselves with the content of the series. Alternatively, participants who attended all or part of the coaching series can use this guide to refresh their understanding of how to identify, select, and implement evidence-based SEL interventions.
