Social/Emotional Learning

The Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) component of the Math Curriculum 2020 is designed to be a component of all math strands. Students are expected to use the six skills to apply knowledge to real world situations. This appendix details the continuum of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) that are applied throughout the entire school year. The second and third pages provide in depth information regarding each skill as well as the key components and sample strategies.

“There is strong evidence that developing social-emotional learning skills at school contributes to all students’ overall health and well-being and to successful academic performance. It also supports positive mental health, as well as students’ ability to learn, build resilience, and thrive. The development of social-emotional learning skills throughout their school years will support all students in becoming healthier and more successful in their daily lives and as contributing members of society. In all grades, learning related to the expectations in this strand occurs in the context of learning related to the other five strands and is assessed and evaluated within these contexts”.
