Transformative SEL is anchored in the notion of justice-oriented citizenship. This session discusses issues of culture, identity, agency, belonging, and engagement as relevant expressions of the 5 Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) competencies. SEL can be a powerful lever for creating caring, just, inclusive, and healthy communities that support all individuals in reaching their fullest potential. It alone will not solve societal inequities; however it can help educators promote understanding, examine biases, reflect on the impact of structural racism, build relationships across differences, and cultivate practices that close opportunity gaps to create more inclusive classrooms.
