Social Emotional
Learning (SEL)
SEL has five competencies. These competencies are interrelated. The competencies are:
1: Self Awareness- recognizing strengths and areas of growth
2: Social Awareness-understanding and empathizing with others
3: Self Management-managing emotions, behaviors, and thoughts to achieve goals and aspirations
4: Relationship Skills-establishing and maintaining relationships
5: Responsible Decision Making-processing and adhering to ethical standards
SEL is often integrated with Growth Mindset, Culturally Responsive Practices, and Trauma-informed practices. The intentional integration of these elements is essential in ensuring that students are treated fairly and have their needs and concerns met so they can truly engage in learning (CASEL).
