Dear Fellow Educators and Mentors,
We here at The Spark Initiative are proud members of the SEL Providers Council, a group aimed at advancing high-quality social emotional learning (SEL) and strengthening student wellbeing and outcomes through collective learning, thought leadership, and action.
The Council has written a letter in support of Dr. Miguel Cardona’s nomination as the next Secretary of Education. We invite you to read and sign this letter. Dr. Cardona has demonstrated a commitment to focusing on the social and emotional well-being of young people and understands that SEL is at the heart of academic and life success for all young people.
Time is of the essence, as Dr. Cardona’s confirmation hearing is coming up very soon! The deadline to sign is 5 PM ET on January 20, 2020.

Thank you for lending your voice to start this new era with the well-being of all Americans in mind.
Warmly,
Stephanie
