Abstract	There is wide recognition that supporting social-emotional learning (SEL) is a critical task for schools as they emerge from the pandemic, but implementation is challenging and SEL programs can easily turn into isolated and disjointed initiatives. When schools treat SEL as an isolated initiative, implementation can be uneven and difficult to support. Other priorities may end up crowding out attention to SEL or creating barriers to implementation and learning. This paper highlights the approach that two innovative charter networks--Uplift Education and Distinctive Schools--took last year to address student well-being and social-emotional development. Above all, their examples suggest that education leaders should commit to weaving their work on SEL into the fabric of their school. They highlight the importance of leveraging shared approaches to SEL, data, and staffing to support SEL schoolwide. Consistent with long-standing advice and research on the importance of a schoolwide approach to SEL, they underscore the importance of integrating SEL into schools and systems at the organizational level.
