SEL teaches students how to:
1) understand & manage emotion
2) set positive/realistic goals
3) build enduring relationships
4) show empathy for others
5) solve problems constructively and ethically
So I came up with this (rather hilarious) acronym to help me remember the components of SEL:
PERGE: P: problem solve
E: empathy
R: relationships
G: goals
E: emotions
CASEL (the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) set forth what it describes as the five goals of S.E.L. for students:
•Self-awareness: The ability to reflect on one’s own feelings and thoughts.
•Self-management (or self-control): The ability to control one’s own thoughts and behavior.
•Social awareness: The ability to empathize with others, recognize social cues and adapt to various situations.
•Relationship skills: The ability to communicate, make friends, manage disagreements, recognize peer pressure and cooperate.
•Responsible decision making: The ability to make healthy choices about one’s own behavior while weighing consequences for others.
