CASEL CARES Initiative: COVID-19 SEL Resources for Educators, Parents, and Caregivers [web resource]

The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) understands how important it is to attend to the social and emotional needs that arise during times like these. SEL offers a powerful means to explore and express our emotions, build relationships, and support each other – children and adults alike.

CASEL CARES is an initiative that brings you thought leadership, helpful resources, and access to key leaders in the SEL field during this challenging time. 

Actions for a Successful Second Semester

To aid in the transition back to in-person learning, CASEL collaborated with 40+ organizations to illuminate a way forward with social and emotional learning that is centered on relationships and built on the existing strengths of a school community.   Access the new second semester brief and the SEL Roadmap
