"SEL 101: What Are the Core Competencies and Key Settings?" is a brief animated overview of CASEL's social and emotional learning framework. The video introduces five interconnected competencies -- self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making -- and shows how SEL develops across classrooms, schools, families, caregivers, and communities. It works well as a concise introduction for educators, families, or older students before a discussion, a professional learning session, or a deeper study of SEL. The video is free to view without an account, although YouTube may display advertising, collect viewing data, suggest unrelated videos, and be unavailable in districts that block YouTube.

Woman With Altitude is a personal website that shares stories, reflections, and resources connected to outdoor adventure, travel, and personal growth. Teachers may find selected posts useful as mentor texts for reading and writing lessons, especially when discussing voice, descriptive language, goal setting, resilience, and learning from new experiences. Because the site is written for a general audience rather than for classrooms, teachers should preview individual articles and select sections that align with their students' ages, interests, and learning goals.
tag(s): descriptive writing (40), women (198), womenchangemaker (95)
In the Classroom
Choose a short, age-appropriate excerpt and ask students to notice sensory details, strong verbs, and descriptive language. Then have students write a short paragraph about a memorable place, challenge, or outdoor experience using similar techniques. After reading a post about a challenge or new experience, have students identify the obstacle, the choices the writer made, and what the writer learned. Students can create a written reflection or discussion response about a time they showed persistence. Use the site's themes of growth and trying new things as a springboard for students to set a personal, academic, or reading goal. Have students write a goal, list possible obstacles, and create a plan for responding when the goal feels difficult to achieve.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Kindness in the Classroom High School Curriculum is a 16-week program that guides students in exploring respect, caring, integrity, inclusiveness, and courage, and encourages them to practice these values in authentic and purposeful ways. Students will develop and deploy a community service project that will build self-initiative, critical thinking, community networking skills, data collection and analysis, and mapping.
