State-Level Policy Impact: Washington
- Supported by the legislatively mandated SEL Advisory Committee in Washington State, teacher educators from several universities and colleges participated in a two-session Book Club focused on Dr. Markowitz’ recent book (Markowitz & Bouffard, 2020).
- As a result of participation in the Book Club, 17 teacher educators representing 7 universities and colleges decided to attend the online year-long Teacher Educator Institute in 2022.
- Moving forward, Washington State is looking to develop state standards for educator SEL and seeks to integrate the Anchor Competencies Framework in that effort.
