This panel presentation will discuss the journey of forming a DREAM SEL Culture. The panel will consist of students, teachers and administrators from the Dream Academy, the alternative high school in the Elgin U-46 School District. Attendees will learn about how student voice and a sense of belonging were made to be a priority by the staff. Panorama data, graduation rates and a decrease in suspensions in the 23-24 school year proved that the school culture has been one that is growing and thriving.
