Getting started with Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
Social-emotional learning has gained traction in conversations in the education space. With new initiatives adopted at school, district and state levels, it’s been exciting to see SEL concepts adopted across content areas and grade levels.

The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) provides useful resources to help educators integrate SEL principles into their instruction. They provide this definition of SEL:
“Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.”
Two areas CASEL focuses on are class discussions and cooperative learning. In this book you’ll learn about activities that align with these goals. We’ll provide tips and strategies alongside activity ideas that you can tailor to your students’ needs this school year.
Here are a few resources with more information on SEL
The CASEL Guide to Schoolwide Social and Emotional Learning is a robust resource and should be your first stop when looking for information on research and best practices for social-emotional learning. What will you find here? You’ll learn about indicators for SEL like youth voice and engagement as well as aligned community partnerships.
Edutopia’s Resources for SEL include a long list of blog posts and videos covering topics related to social and emotional learning. There are strategies specifically for new teachers, ideas to help refine classroom management, and case studies to explore. This collection is full of real-world stories and actionable information.
EdSurge’s Social-Emotional Learning Collection features a range of resources around SEL. It also highlights classroom stories and includes interviews with educators in diverse learning environments. The resources in this collection also highlight emerging technologies like virtual reality and how it can be a part of an SEL program.
Educational Leadership magazine from ASCD recently had an issue dedicated to SEL. Much of the content is accessible without a subscription and is available on their online landing page. Within this digital collection, you’ll find research spotlights, interviews and classroom strategies related to social-emotional learning.
