Not PL Ready/ PL Ready 

• Student success outcomes are based solely on academic standards and do not integrate social emotional competencies and/or social emotional competencies are mentioned, but are not drivers for campus decision making (i.e., decisions are made based on academic needs - only use leveled groupings versus offering mixed groupings, etc.).
• Social emotional competencies receive no instructional time, and/or instructional focus on them is limited to specific periods of time versus being integrated into instruction across the day and across subject areas.
• Restorative practices are either not in place or are only used minimally and punitive practices are relied upon for behavior management (i.e., office referrals are used to remove students and there is no conference or healing the harm practice for the offending student to engage with).  

Consistent Practice/ Personalized 

• There is clear evidence of SEL outcomes being integral to student graduate outcomes and are therefore key drivers of instructional decisions. (i.e., SEL competencies are articulated in student outcomes, instructional materials that incorporate those SEL outcomes are chosen, measures for monitoring these SEL outcomes are identified, etc.).
• SEL outcomes are integrated into instruction rather than treated as separate (i.e., projects which incorporate SEL outcomes are used, instruction includes SEL outcomes with other academic outcomes, performance assessment measures SEL outcomes, learner profiles includes SEL indicators, etc.).
• Evidence of restorative practices can be seen at classroom and campus levels (i.e., restorative circles, community building, mediation, healing the harm practices, etc.).
