What are the five Core Competencies?
What are the five Core Competencies?
"Social and emotional learning (SEL) enhances students’ capacity to integrate skills, attitudes, and behaviors to deal effectively and ethically with daily tasks and challenges. Like many similar frameworks, CASEL’s integrated framework promotes intrapersonal, interpersonal, and cognitive competence. There are five core competencies that can be taught in many ways across many settings."
Defining and quantifying SEL is a difficult task. Determining what and how to teach SEL can be even more of a daunting task. Utilizing the definitions set forth by the five Core Competencies, educators can move from a theoretical understanding of SEL to one of practical application.
Modeling and teaching the SEL Core Competencies starts with YOU! Reflect on your own SEL competencies utilizing the Personal Assessment Tool.

SEL and Equity, "Transformative SEL"
According to CASEL, "SEL advances educational equity and excellence through authentic school-family-community partnerships to establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships, rigorous and meaningful curriculum and instruction, and ongoing evaluation. SEL can help address various forms of inequity and empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools and contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities."
Furthermore, Transformative SEL is defined as "A process whereby young people and adults build strong, respectful, and lasting relationships that facilitate co-learning to critically examine root causes of inequity, and to develop collaborative solutions that lead to personal, community and societal well-being.
