Casel's SEL Framework
|
Casel’s framework takes a systemic approach that emphasizes the importance of establishing equitable learning environments and coordinating practices across key settings of classrooms, schools, families, and communities to enhance all students’ social, emotional, and academic learning.
Five broad and interrelated areas of competence: ● Self-awareness ● Self-management ● Social awareness ● Relationship skills ● Responsible decision-making |
How Do Social and Emotional Skills Relate to Career, Business, and Economic Success?
SEL curricula teach self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making so students can manage their behaviors, understand and relate to the perspectives of others, and make sound personal and social choices. This suite of Competencies complements academic learning and meets many of the employability needs identified by business leaders. © 2016 Committee for Children ∙ cfchildren.org

What is the purpose of Social and Emotional learning at the Workplace
Social-emotional learning (SEL) helps kids work on things like coping with feelings and setting goals. It also helps with interpersonal skills like working in teams and resolving conflicts. SEL can help kids who learn and think differently talk about their challenges and build self-esteem.
