About the Seed Model Program

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 and CP&I 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.

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.
