The Best Resources About Connecting SEL To Academic Standards

 

I would venture to say that most teachers recognize the importance of Social Emotional Learning in the learning process.

However, sometimes we have to justify its importance to those who are not in the classroom everyday.

Here are some resources we can call on to justify SEL use with our students (even though we shouldn’t have to):

Social and Emotional Learning Embedded in Core Education Documents is helpful, though I’m not sure who created it.

Integrating Social and Emotional Learning and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics is from The University of Texas.

How to Integrate Social-Emotional Learning into Common Core is from Greater Good.

linking SEL with the common core is from Harvard.

Connecting SEL and the Common Core, Part One is from Edutopia.

SEL and the Common Core, Part Two: Why Emotion Vocabulary Matters is from Edutopia.

Aligning SEL and Academic Objectives is from CASEL.
