The teacher provides consistent opportunities for students to cultivate, practice, and reflect on social and emotional competencies in ways that are developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive. The teacher provides both explicit SEL instruction as well as opportunities for practicing skills beyond the lesson and throughout the day, or through connections during academic lessons. To do this, a teacher believes that social and emotional competencies are supportive of students academic development and overall well-being and that social and emotional learning occurs in the classroom.
