    CASEL Resources for Addressing Intersectionality Needs During COVID-19

    The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic reinforce how important it is for all students to experience belonging and have the intersectional facets of their identity recognized and affirmed. In partnership with the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning has created helpful resources on understanding and addressing intersectional needs during COVID-19, especially for systemically marginalized young people:

    ·    Exploring Intersectionality to increase understanding of student identity to promote equitable social, emotional, cognitive, and academic development 

    ·    Guide for Families to ask key questions that promote equity and excellence for your child 

    ·    Guide for School Leaders to implement school-wide systems of intervention and support that recognize and celebrate students' intersectional identities 

    ·    Guide for District Leaders to prioritize the unique experiences of our most marginalized students and intentionally work to help them to learn and thrive
