Social and Emotional Learning: A Vital Component for Students to Grow and Succeed
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is a crucial part of an educational environment where students feel safe and confident to explore, grow, and succeed. Research has shown an improvement in standardized test scores and an increase in average GPA for students participating in an academic SEL program. CASEL, a leading organization in the field of social and emotional learning, has identified five core competencies of SEL:
- Self-Awareness
- Self-Management
- Social Awareness
- Relationship Skills
- Responsible Decision-Making
School Specialty is your partner in fostering social and emotional development with the tools that align to these five core competencies. We offer resources including curriculum, supplemental materials, and educational products to help you engage students in a transformative learning environment.

We blend the right resources, curriculum, furniture, and expertise to create safe and innovative learning environments that foster the development of 21st century skills—collaboration, critical thinking, communication—and prepare students for the careers of tomorrow.
