In seeing the acronym CASEL and signing up for this badge, I
never made the connection that the “SEL” was for social-emotional
learning. Having already taken a few
courses on SEL, the material is very familiar but I wasn’t aware that it has
been around for over 20 years. Their goal
is to make SEL a part of every child’s education PreK through 12. I think it is important more than ever with the
increased awareness of mental health today.
It makes sense that SEL leads to improved academic outcomes, long-term benefits, and improved long-term lifetime outcomes. It was interesting to hear that it was also a wise financial investment and would like to learn more about that.
I found the CASEL Wheel was packed with valuable information on the five SEL Competencies. The wheel thoroughly explained the foundations for success in school, work, and in life. It is important that we understand ourselves and have the skills to understand others to make responsible decisions.
In school, SEL should be integrated into the curriculum to teach those skills. Youth should have the opportunity to have their voices heard and make decisions and students should be engaged in SEL. The climate and the culture of the school and in classrooms should be supportive.
When getting started with implementing SEL there is a lot areas to improve on in the classroom, at school, with family, and in the community. It is important to focus on priorities and not take on them all at once.
I would like to use the resource Our Children are Leaders, SEL awareness for parents and caregivers with my children.
