Successful Federal Grant Application – SEL, PBIS, Elementary Counseling & School Social Work (US Dept. of Education).

This successful grant application to the US Department of Education combined structured play during recess with school-based counseling and school social work services to strengthen social, emotional, and behavioral health wellness. Inclusion and school climate skyrocketed, attendance increased, and rates of discipline declined.

James Wogan, LCSW was the lead author and project coordinator for this successful SEL program.

Based on data, PBIS was applied through an equity lens to serve historically underserved communities. The district hired 3.0 FTE” “Social Work Specialists” and expanded support for MTSS Tier 2 and Tier 3 students. Parents from diverse backgrounds strengthen their connection with school.

Staff members straddled the school day and worked in the after school program as well, therefore were present when parents picked up their children.

Example for others to build upon.

We met or exceeded target goals and outcome measures.
