Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Curriculum

Grade Level: K-12

Pittsburgh Public Schools, which serves nearly 20,000 students, is now accepting proposals for a comprehensive social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum to build students' social and emotional competencies in ways that are developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive. Multiple proposals may be selected to ensure that resources support students spanning K-12.

The district is seeking an evidence-based, researched, and reviewed program (curriculum and instructional materials) for teachers to facilitate the systemic development of social and emotional learning skills for students, in alignment with the SEL competencies as described by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). Materials must be developmentally appropriate and represent cultural diversity. Additionally, materials must be accessible to students who are English Language Learners, as well as students
with disabilities.

Associated training and support for implementation will be required. The selected materials will be implemented during the 2026-27 school year, and any physical materials will need to be delivered by July 1st.

RYE Note: All inquiries regarding this RFP must be made in writing to sel@pghschools.org. Any verbal outreach will be directed to submit inquiries in writing via email.
