5 key thoughts:
*CASEL is research based and focused on ensuring that SEL is integrated into learning for PK-12 students, it is not a curriculum.
*These skills impact mental health, academics, college readiness and more.
*School and Community need to help model skills. Instruction can't just be in the classroom, we need to coordinate from a systemic approach.
*not an "either or" compared to academics- it's a "both/and". It all goes hand in hand and overall improves the school environment when done well.
*website has a 10 level overview of areas to focus on in a district along with guidance with where to start with making positive changes.
