Safe & caring schools

This teacher activity guide provides classroom lessons for bringing social and emotional learning into everyday teaching. It follows the framework of CASEL, the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, and is organized around four areas: understanding yourself and others, building positive attitudes and values, making responsible choices, and developing social interaction skills.

The activities also connect to other parts of the school day. They align with standards in social studies, language arts, health and other curriculum areas, so teachers can address emotional and social growth alongside their core subjects.
