SEL Home Connections (Grades 3-8)

These parent letters and student worksheets focus on some of the core tools and strategies taught in social emotional learning. They can provide structure for teachers or parents to introduce SEL concepts to students while they are working at home and can help facilitate student and parent conversations around SEL, too.

SEL Skill Building Activities (Grades 3-12)

SEL skills are important for a broad range of reasons, especially in times of uncertainty. Educators, parents, and students can do these activities together and grow in areas like mindfulness, goal setting, and (virtual) collaboration to help with home learning. Stress Management Series (All grades)

Students with strong skills set goals for success, handle stress, and can put their knowledge into action. Keep your students feeling confident in themselves and their abilities with these tips and tricks. Check back regularly for updates!
