Beyond the Tool Kit: Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Curriculum Foundations of SEL
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the bedrock of successful, healthy living, evolving throughout our lives. It encompasses forming positive relationships, managing emotions, and maintaining focus amidst challenges. Defined by CASEL as the process to acquire key skills for emotional management, empathy, relationship building, decision-making, and effective problem-solving, SEL is segmented into five core competencies: self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making, setting the stage for comprehensive personal development and wellness.
“When I say regulated and ready to learn, I mean ready to learn from other people. There can be a deeper learning, a powerful learning that happens when we are not regulated. When we are off track, when we are stuck in the mud, we learn things about ourselves that we don’t learn in a classroom. These rich lessons about regulation are birthed during the times of not being regulated. We are not broken during seasons of stuck in the mud and off track and then all of a sudden magically healed and all better during regulated and ready times. The richness of life comes from the flow between and experiences across all the seasons.”
