AIMS

NTAG members will develop consensus around existing and emergent NISSEM goals including:

    • The need to formulate a statement of principles and approaches to embedding SEL/4.7 in educational plans, policies, curricula, syllabi, textbooks and other education materials and activities;
    • The need to work with like-minded agencies and actors on how NISSEM principles and approaches can help bridge the policy–practice gap;
    • The need to mainstream SEL/4.7 in national systems, curricular subjects/programs and educational materials, and teacher professional development;
    • The role of standalone/explicit modules on SEL/4.7 themes;
    • The sharing of innovative materials and approaches on a global platform, with mentoring within and between regions and globally;
    • The need to develop new and innovative approaches to reporting and monitoring SEL/4.7/transformative learning;
    • The promotion of research linked to SEL in order to further develop the concept in the perspective of thinking about the future of education;
    • Other emerging goals.
