1.  SEL is essential for academic and life success.  It helps students do well in school and life by teaching them how to manage emotions, set goals, and work with others.
2.  The CASEL core skills are: Self-awareness, Self-management, Social awareness, Relationship skills, and Responsible decision-making.  These five skills provide a structured way to understand and teach SEL and helps students develop the tools they need to navigate both personal and interpersonal challenges.
3.  SEL should be a part of everyday learning to support learning and emotional growth.
4.  As adults we need to model SEL.  We play a big role by showing our students and children how to manage feelings, build relationships and make good decisions.
5.  SEL is a long-term investment.  It helps students succeed academically and reduces problems like stress or behavior issues. I plan to use the CASEL Guide to SEL Programs as a resource from this video.
