DC School Safety Resource Guide - The DME has compiled a resource guide to help schools navigate available resources and supports to enhance safety and wellness for their campuses. This includes a DC School Safety Resource one-pager, contacts and information on how to request services from the Department of Behavioral Health, information on weekly calls for Safe Passage Priority Areas, and details on communication channels with public safety agencies and available resources.

Youth Work-Based Learning Opportunities - The District is investing in a reimagined system that prepares our youth to succeed in high-wage, high-demand careers through career exploration, career preparedness, and career launch. View the work-based learning roadmap here.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Landscape Scan - The scan details how schools integrate SEL policies and practices, and the system-wide support available to foster the development of students’ and adults’ socio-emotional competencies. The data collection and analysis for this scan occurred between January and July 2023. The goal of this work is to ensure every student in Washington DC has the necessary socio-emotional skills – conflict resolution, self-management, positive decision-making, and relationship-building – to engage and succeed in DC’s reimagined high school experience, workforce pathways, and beyond. View the SEL Landscape Scan here.


The DME provided curated resources for educators to support student and family engagement during the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency.
