SEL: Managing Big Feelings with Little Humans
Every child should have the opportunity to meet their full potential. Research is continuing to show the impact that social and emotional learning (SEL) plays on a child’s school readiness and ability to become accomplished learners.
The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) has a stated mission of disseminating evidence-based information regarding social and emotional learning (SEL)throughout all educational systems preschool through high school. CASEL has created a framework identifying five core competencies that are encompassed in SEL. These competencies are: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
This presentation will briefly review the five core competencies outlined by CASEL’s and also review our introduction of social and emotional learning to children who are deaf and/or hard of hearing within a listening and spoken language preschool. Data will be shared regarding the Kimochi ? program which was selected to increase SEL with preschoolers and staff at Clarke Schools’ Philadelphia campus. Specific features of the Kimochi? program will be highlighted related to its impact on emotional vocabulary acquisition, student generalization of prosocial behaviors, and parent involvement. Our observations of the Kimochi program’s ability to be modified during the COVID-19 pandemic will be discussed.
- Learners will identify the five core social and emotional competencies as outlined by the Collaborative for Academic and Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL)
- Learners will list three reasons why focusing on emotional well-being increases the likelihood of learning.
- Learners will discuss 2 benefits to implementing the Kimochis® program in their practice and/or school.
