• Varying teacher experience and comfort with SEL.
• Diverse cultural and school contexts.
• Incorporate scaffolding, chunking, and non-traditional evaluation strategies into the lesson design framework.
• Ensure lesson design prioritizes student engagement, cultural relevance, and educator ease-of-use.

• Recommend sequencing that scaffolds SEL skills across grade bands (6–8, 9–12).
• Align lesson progression with CASEL’s framework and best practices in transformative SEL.
