Social-emotional learning is an important part of a well-rounded education. Research shows that SEL is an important lever for boosting academic achievement. Positive social-emotional skills are also correlated with improved attendance and reduced disciplinary incidents.

Social and Emotional Support During Distance Learning

Visit the California Department of Education (CDE) Social and Emotional Support During Distance Learning web page for resources for educators, educational leaders, and families/guardians in kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) schools, to provide social and emotional supports during distance learning.

Social and Emotional Learning Basics

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) reflects the critical role of positive relationships and emotional connections in the learning process and helps students develop a range of skills they need for school and life. SEL skills include the ability to:

set and achieve positive goals

feel and show empathy for others

establish and maintain positive relationships

make responsible decisions

understand and manage emotions

All of these skills are necessary-both for educators and students-to function well in the classroom, in the community, and in college and careers.

While many teachers instinctively know that social and emotional learning is important, historically schools have been primarily focused on teaching academic content such as reading, math, science, and history, and less intentional about supporting the social and emotional skills that are so important to learning and life success.

There is a growing body of research proving that social and emotional learning (SEL) is fundamental to academic success, and must be woven into the work of every teacher in every classroom and every after school and summer learning program, if we truly want to prepare all our students for college and careers.

The CDE is committed to helping educators learn more about SEL and how to make this a part of every child's school experience. To support this work, CDE has joined the Collaborating States Initiative a group of states that share information, best practices, and promising tools and ideas in the interest of building strong Social Emotional Learning in schools across their states. The Collaborating States Initiative is hosted by the Collaborative for Academic Social and Emotional Learning .

The CDE has convened a group of experts from different sectors of the education system to advise on the best ways to support SEL implementation. The following are products this team has developed:

See CDE's press release on California's participation in the Collaborating States Initiative.

General Resources

To better understand the role of Social Emotional Learning in schools, the resources listed below are a good starting place. This list will be updated as relevant information is gathered and reviewed:

Support

If you need support in your school, district, or county in better understanding SEL or if you need implementation tools or technical assistance, the following are some resources to consider:

iReady and Ready Math by Curriculum Associates:

This program has a consumable and online component. The lessons in Ready Mathematics use a research-based, proven-effective, gradual-release instructional model with a balance of conceptual understanding and procedural fluency to build confidence and mastery of the Common Core Math Standards. At the beginning of the year, all students are assessed with a diagnostic that indicates the student’s current level. This allows teachers to focus on particular skills or reteach skills that students may not have mastered in earlier grade levels with access to all K–8 student and teacher lessons. The program has a component that focuses on instruction with classroom and small-group activities that give teachers best-practice models for teaching a skill. Students are engaged with the use of technology and guided interactive tutorials to reinforce understanding. Students are on Chrome books completing iReady problems for no more than 45 minutes per week while teachers work with small groups of students. Teachers progress monitor frequently to differentiate instruction.

Balanced Literacy Approach

This approach to teaching literacy ensures that our students are challenged appropriately at their individual reading levels. Every teacher will assess their students to determine their independent reading level at least 3 times a year. The reading levels are on a continuum from Level Pre-A (before Kinder) to Level Z (8th grade).  Teachers work in small groups, students in flexible seating and students reading for fun! Each classroom has a classroom library of 375 books. During Guided Reading instruction, teachers work in small groups of no more than 6 students with similar reading levels while other students are in small groups doing writing, word work, independent reading, or reading with a partner.

Raz-Kids delivers hundreds of interactive, leveled eBooks spanning 29 levels

Corresponding eQuizzes test comprehension, providing teachers with skill reports for data-driven instruction
