This chapter tells the story of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in Haiti as a liberatory, culturally grounded practice. In Haiti, SEL is not behavior management or a soft-skills checklist; it is a way for children to heal from trauma, resist oppression, and participate fully in shaping their society. Grounded in Haitian values such as konbit [mutual aid], djanm [strength/resilience], and collective well-being, the framework emphasizes a sense of self, relational strength, and self-direction. Its implementation through the Haiti Model School Network (MSN) engages teachers, students, and families in participatory routines like morning circles, story-based lessons, and coaching, fostering relational shifts across classrooms and communities. Early outcomes include children naming feelings, initiating conflict repair, and participating in collective self-regulation; teachers modeling reflection and care; and families bridging school and home practices. This chapter emphasizes that scaling SEL must be done with integrity, prioritizing accompaniment, trust, and local adaptation over rapid replication. Transformation in Haiti emerges not from structures alone, but from relationships grounded in dignity, community, and Haitian voices.
