An SEL Curriculum for Middle School Is Crucial to Student Achievement

Programs with built-in SEL components support teachers in implementing an effective social-emotional learning curriculum for middle school students. As these students enter a critical period in their lives, SEL in education considers their developmental needs and ensures they develop self-awareness as they find real-world solutions to the challenges they encounter.

Integrate SEL into the Curriculum

The five SEL competencies—self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness—are infused throughout our evidence-backed core, intervention, and supplemental programs.
