One of the most significant needs in our schools and in our classrooms is access to an appropriate and meaningful SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) curriculum. Students need to be able to work through the five competencies of SEL: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision Making (© CASEL 2017).
