About CRASEL
Our Approach
Culturally-Responsive and Affirming Social-Emotional Leadership (CRASEL) is a liberatory approach to leading and learning that holistically seeks to meet the needs of the school community through raising racial and cultural self-awareness and setting high expectations while attending to students’ individual and collective social and emotional needs through agency, social justice, voice, compassion, empathy, and positive relationship building.
