Transform Your Classroom with Our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Lessons and Self-Studies

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is a critical component of a well-rounded education, as it supports students' emotional and mental health and helps them develop important life skills. SEL teaches students how to manage their emotions, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. Teachers can use our SEL lessons and self-studies in their classrooms to create a supportive and engaging learning environment that promotes emotional well-being and academic success. Our resources are engaging, easy to use and compatible with Pear Deck and Canvas.

Implementing SEL into the curriculum has become increasingly important as research has shown the significant positive impact it has on student outcomes. Many states and districts have started to incorporate SEL into their curriculum as a way to support the whole child and promote academic success. With our digital SEL resources, teachers can easily implement SEL into their curriculum by incorporating our lessons and self-studies into their daily classroom activities. Our resources align with CASEL's (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) five core competencies of SEL and can be seamlessly integrated into existing curriculum standards. By incorporating SEL into their curriculum, teachers can help their students develop the social-emotional competencies they need to succeed in school and in life.
