The CASEL Framework

Created by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), a nonprofit dedicated to supporting all students’ social-emotional learning (SEL) development, the CASEL Framework is a tool for educators to use as they support students’ development across five core SEL competencies, known as “The CASEL 5:”

  • Self-Awareness

  • Self-Management

  • Responsible Decision-Making

  • Relationship Skills

  • Social Awareness

The interactive “CASEL Wheel” provides in-depth overviews of each competency, along with additional resources for educators seeking to integrate SEL strategies into their practice.
