CASEL identifies five core competencies that can be taught through social and emotional learning (SEL)

These five competencies are:

  • Self-awareness
  • Self-management
  • Social awareness
  • Relationship skills
  • Responsible decision-making

CASEL's 2017 meta-analysis, which analysed research projects involving more than 97,000 students, showed that pupils exposed to SEL programmes performed higher academically than their counterparts.
