• The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning Announces a FREE SEL Course

    CASEL is meeting that need with a new one-hour, virtual learning course: An Introduction to Social and Emotional Learning. The free experience is designed to make SEL information accessible to anyone​​—from educators and school staff to parents and community partners.

    The course can be taken independently online or used with a facilitation guide for SEL leaders who want to engage a group in-person. The self-paced course pairs informative learning activities with opportunities for participants to make connections to their local communities and imagine ways they can (and already do) apply their social and emotional skills to support young people. 

    “With mounting public interest in social and emotional learning, there is an urgent need for trustworthy information that everyone can access,” said CASEL Vice President of Innovations and Partnerships Melissa Schlinger. “Our new course is a credible, user-friendly on-ramp to SEL, regardless of your role in the school community. We’re proud to offer this foundational learning as people around the world turn to CASEL for support.”

New research consistently saw increases in academic performance with SEL. These new findings merely build on what we have long known. As Dr. Aaliyah A. Samuel said, “Any parent or teacher knows the basics of learning involving supportive relationships, joy, and skills like perseverance and effective communication.”

  • We don’t have to choose between academic recovery and social-emotional learning

    Posted by Humanware Department on 2/6/2023

    National test scores showing dramatic declines in student achievement have prompted some politicians and school board candidates to call for education to go “back to basics.” Now is the time to focus on core academic subjects, they say, not things like social-emotional learning.
