The skills that the Caring School Community program addresses correlate closely with the social and emotional competencies developed by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). The CASEL framework sets out five key areas of competence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
See pages xiv–xv of the Teacher’s Manual for a chart that shows the overlap between the CASEL competencies and the skills taught in the Caring School Community program.
