True district change happens when we create learning structures and systems that cross campus boundaries and encourage all-district learning and communities of practice.

The purpose of the Seed Model Campus Cohort is to support campuses throughout Austin ISD in their journey of goal-oriented, intentional, campus-wide, equity-centered SEL integration into school culture and systems. Seed Model participants submit a proposed plan, including a S.M.A.R.T.I.E. goal around the following four CASEL critical practice areas: 

• Take time to cultivate and deepen relationships, build partnerships and plan for SEL.

• Design opportunities where adults can connect, heal and build their capacity to support students.

• Create safe, supportive, and equitable learning environments that promote all students' social and emotional development.

• Use data as an opportunity to share power, deepen relationships, and continuously improve support for students, families, and staff.

Austin ISD's Seed Model Campus Cohort program has grown from 19 campuses in its inaugural year (2017-18) to over 70 campuses!

As part of the cohort program Seed Model Campuses invite visitors to join their staff and students for part of a day to share their progress, challenges, and process through an honest conversation.

With your support, we can continue to offer this informative opportunity to visitors of Austin ISD and continue to help deepen our Seed Model Campuses’ SEL implementation.
