About Robyn Corelitz

I am a strategic and mission-driven learning professional dedicated to enhancing social emotional learning, fostering professional growth, and promoting well-being in individuals and teams.In my current role as a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Specialist at Deerfield High School, I lead the design and implementation of evidence-based development programs that enhance team effectiveness, communication, and relational trust. My work centers on capacity building through reflective practice, emotional intelligence, and continuous improvement. I have extensive experience facilitating learning across Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and designing professional development experiences that foster engagement, reflection, and long-term impact.As a doctoral candidate in the Literacy, Language, and Culture Ph.D. program at the University of Illinois Chicago, my research explores social emotional learning, applied educational neuroscience, restorative practices, and embodied learning.I hold certifications in adult learning, secondary education, special education, and instructional leadership (Principal), and have presented nationally on topics ranging from team building to trauma-responsive practices.As a 2023 CASEL Fellows Academy member, I strengthened my commitment to scalable, sustainable approaches to social-emotional learning and human-centered systems change. I bring that same commitment to any space where learning, development, and leadership intersect.President Elect; SEL4 IL https://sel4il.org/
