OUR MISSION IS TO HELP MAKE EVIDENCE-BASED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) AN INTEGRAL PART OF EDUCATION FROM PRESCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL. CASEL IS THE LEADING ORGANIZATION AND A TRUSTED SOURCE FOR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIGH-QUALITY, EVIDENCE-BASED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL). OUR MISSION IS TO HELP MAKE EVIDENCE-BASED SEL AN INTEGRAL PART OF EDUCATION FROM PRESCHOOL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. WE ENVISION ALL CHILDREN AND ADULTS AS SELF-AWARE, CARING, RESPONSIBLE, ENGAGED, AND LIFELONG LEARNERS WHO WORK TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS AND TO CREATE A MORE INCLUSIVE, JUST, AND EQUITABLE WORLD. TO ACHIEVE THIS, CASEL WORKS TOWARD CONTINUED EXPANSION OF HIGH-QUALITY, SYSTEMIC SEL, AND SUSTAINING HIGH-QUALITY SEL IMPLEMENTATION AS A NATIONAL PRIORITY. CASEL FIRST DEFINED SEL THREE DECADES AGO. SEL IS THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH ALL YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS ACQUIRE AND APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ATTITUDES TO DEVELOP HEALTHY IDENTITIES, MANAGE EMOTIONS, ACHIEVE PERSONAL AND COLLECTIVE GOALS, FEEL AND SHOW EMPATHY FOR OTHERS, ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS, AND MAKE RESPONSIBLE AND CARING DECISIONS. SEL ADVANCES EDUCATIONAL EQUITY AND EXCELLENCE THROUGH AUTHENTIC SCHOOL-FAMILY-COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO ESTABLISH LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND EXPERIENCES THAT FEATURE TRUSTING AND COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS, RIGOROUS AND MEANINGFUL CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION, AND ONGOING EVALUATION. SEL CAN HELP ADDRESS VARIOUS FORMS OF INEQUITY AND EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS TO CO CREATE THRIVING SCHOOLS AND CONTRIBUTE TO SAFE, HEALTHY, AND JUST COMMUNITIES. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SEL CAN LEAD TO BETTER ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, IMPROVED WELLBEING, AND SAFER SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION TO DEFINING SEL, CASEL HELPED GROW SEL FROM AN EMERGING FIELD OF STUDY TO AN ESSENTIAL PART OF EDUCATION. THIS INCLUDES CREATING THE FIRST FRAMEWORK FOR PROMOTING SEL IN SCHOOLS, DEVELOPING THE FIRST REVIEW OF SCHOOL-BASED SEL PROGRAMS, WORKING WITH ILLINOIS TO BE THE FIRST STATE TO ADOPT SEL STANDARDS PRE-K-12, AND MUCH MORE. CASEL'S COLLABORATIVE APPROACH DRIVES RESEARCH, GUIDES IMPLEMENTATION, INFORMS POLICY, CONVENES NETWORKS, AND COMMUNICATES BROADLY TO HELP ENSURE SEL IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF K-12 EDUCATION. CASEL SERVES AND EMPOWERS SCHOOL, DISTRICT, AND STATE EDUCATION LEADERS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE, TOOLS, AND RESOURCES TO IMPLEMENT HIGH-QUALITY SEL AND POSITIVELY IMPACT STUDENTS NATIONWIDE. WE REGULARLY COLLABORATE WITH RESEARCHERS, PRACTITIONERS, AND POLICYMAKERS TO ADVANCE THE KNOWLEDGE BASE, SERVING AS AN ARBITER OF QUALITY AND SHARING FINDINGS ON HIGH-QUALITY SEL. WE ENGAGE WIDE AUDIENCES BY SHARING BEST PRACTICES, SCHOLARSHIP, AND STORIES IN PUBLICATIONS, MEDIA, SOCIAL MEDIA, WEBINARS, EVENTS, AND MORE.
