“[Taking part in the Academy] gave us time to focus, develop our SEL goals, and plan as a team without outside influences or conflicts arising. It provided a supportive environment for growth in this area.”
SEb ACADEMY PARTICIPANT
From 2019-2025, the SEB Academy was a partnership between the Education Development Center, the May Institute, and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). For 2025-2026, Education Development Center will continue to operate the Academy in partnership with DESE. EDC remains grateful to the May Institute for their many years of partnership and collaboration.
