The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) Framework

The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) Framework emphasizes developing students’ skills in five key areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These skills help students succeed academically, build positive relationships, and handle challenges effectively. The framework encourages schools to integrate social and emotional learning (SEL) into everyday activities, fostering a supportive environment where students can thrive both personally and academically. Ultimately, CASEL’s goal is to prepare students not only to excel in school but also to become empathetic and responsible members of their communities.
