URL: https://aptv.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/what-is-sel-video/social-and-emotional-learning-the-arts-for-every-classroom/
Description:

You may not find it as a stand-alone class in the curriculum, but social and emotional learning is an integral part of education.

Social and emotional learning (SEL) means teaching students how to manage their emotions and how to collaborate and empathize with others. Also known as soft skills, character education, and good citizenship, it’s all about getting along with others and knowing oneself, abilities everyone needs to function in a social setting. These skills also help students do better academically.

The most popular framework for SEL instruction is the CASEL 5. CASEL is the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning, a group that provides free online instructional resources for SEL. The CASEL 5 are the five SEL core competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. You can find the CASEL Framework Handout here.

This resource for educators provides background information, discussion questions, and a vocabulary glossary as supplemental material.

Title: A Conflict Resolution Protocol for Elementary Classrooms
URL: https://www.responsiveclassroom.org/a-conflict-resolution-protocol-for-elementary-classrooms/
Description:

A basic belief underlying The Responsive Classroom approach to teaching is that how children learn to treat one another is as important as what they learn in reading, writing, and arithmetic. We believe that social skills such as cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control are essential to children’s academic and social success and we emphasize the teaching of these skills, along with academics, throughout the school day.

This resource provides teachers with classroom strategies to build community, improve communication, and enhance classroom discussion. This resource also has a listing of professional books related to these topics.

Title: Conflict Resolution for Kids

Description:

Conflicts in the classroom happen, and when they do, respectful relationships and orderly routines can quickly be set off track, as can be the perfect lesson plan. It can be tempting to dismiss disagreements and move on, settle them yourself as the adult, or even penalize students for a disruption, but it’s important to develop conflict resolution skills with students so they can work through sticky situations.

Title: Communication Skills Worksheets: Appropriate and Inappropriate Topics
URL: https://www.centervention.com/appropriate-inappropriate-topics-conversation/
Description:

Topics that are okay with family may not be appropriate to share with a stranger, and conversations that are appropriate with friends on the schoolyard may not be meant for the holiday dinner table at Grandma’s. While teaching kids to initiate and communicate with others is crucial to making friends and thriving socially, students also need to learn what topics of conversation are appropriate with different types of people. 

Understanding the pragmatics of social communication is an essential life skill. We’ve created this set of lessons that can guide students through the different phases of appropriate and safe conversations as they meet and make friends, both in real life and digitally.

Title: Conflict Resolution Activities: Effective Ideas for Classrooms
URL: https://proudtobeprimary.com/conflict-resolution-activities/
Description:

Conflict resolution is an important skill that students need to learn – beneficial to them within the classroom as well as in everyday life. Not only will kids use conflict resolution in the classroom, they will also continue to use these skills as they grow. The conflict resolution skills they learn in elementary school will help them solve problems as adults. So how do we teach conflict resolution in the classroom?

There are many steps to teaching conflict resolution. To truly teach conflict resolution, you’ll need to teach your students how to analyze the conflict. They’ll need to be able to identify the problem and try to understand what’s causing it.

Title: Teaching Empathy in the Classroom
URL: https://everfi.com/offerings/listing/compassion/
Description:

With so much emphasis placed on improvements in math and science, skills like compassion often receive less classroom time. This unintended trade-off may be short-sighted, as compassion is an important social-emotional skill that begins to develop in early childhood and is essential for lifelong health and success.
Learning compassion increases students’ own sense of well-being and improves the learning environment for all learners. By teaching kindness, empathy and compassion in the classroom, educators set their students up for long term success in every aspect of life.
