This curriculum will continue to grow!

The SEL4ME Team, consisting of diverse Maine experts and stakeholders, will continue to edit, add and develop new SEL content and will expand from classroom supports to include school and district wide curriculum in the use of SEL as a Primary Prevention and Trauma Informed practice.

Maine and Social Emotional Learning for Student Success

Early on, Mainers understood that students who have SEL incorporated into their learning develop skills for self confidence, perseverance and academic success as well as becoming positive members in their communities. From health education and school counseling programs, to pioneering individual educators and whole schools, there is a strong history of Social Emotional Learning in Maine. The SEL4ME curriculum is not a requirement but an additional support for all existing programs while also being a reliable and foundational way to provide accessible resources that will enable new SEL programs to be created across the State.
