CASEL Three Signature Practices:
CASEL Three Signature Practices:
The SEL 3 Signature Practices are one tool for fostering a supportive environment and promote SEL. They intentionally and explicitly help build a habit of practices through which students and adults enhance their SEL skills. While not an SEL curriculum, these practices are one concrete example of a way to help people understand and practice the goals of an overall systemic SEL implementation plan. The Three Signature Practices include welcoming inclusion activities, engaging strategies, and optomistic closure.
Welcoming Inclusion Activities
Welcoming Inclusion Activities
Activities for inclusion, establish safety and predictability, allow students to connect with one another and create a sense of belonging. Activities are connected to the learning of the day.
Engaging Strategies
Engaging Strategies
Academic integration, sense making, transitions and “brain breaks” foster relationships, cultural humility, empowerment, and collaboration.
Optimistic Closing
Optimistic Closing
Reflections and looking forward provides intentional closure by asking students to name something that helps them transition on a positive note.
