The BELE Resource Library is an evolving repository of resources and recommendations for educators, parents, and policymakers to use in creating classrooms where every student feels valued and can develop fundamental life skills.

This collaborative space features resources sourced from across the BELE Network designed to support teachers, create student-centered learning experiences for students, guide the investment of government funds, and much more.

Grounded in the pillars of the BELE Framework, we have identified seven “Essential Actions” that describe the changes and processes needed to create supportive, engaging and caring environments for students and adults. You can navigate the Resource Library using “Search by Essential Action” or the drop-down menu of filters below the search bar to find the best resource to meet your needs.
