Rock in Prevention has been at the forefront of designing evidence-based programs to control substance abuse among the youth. The newest online curriculum, Rock Digi, helps students reap the benefits of a remote-based learning system. Rock in Prevention's online curriculum utilizes a CASEL approach to design its SEL lessons.
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process of embracing self-control, self-awareness, and interpersonal skills vital for school, career, and life success. Individuals with strong emotional skills are best placed to handle everyday challenges. The following are five core competencies of the CASEL framework:
1. Self-awareness
Self-awareness is a key component of social-emotional learning as it allows students to cultivate a deeper understanding of how their positive actions contribute to a better self-image.
2. Self-management
As an individual’s social-emotional skills grow, young adults and children begin to appreciate the role of self-management, especially how it nurtures emotional management, motivation and, identification of personal goals.
3. Social Awareness
SEL promotes social awareness where individuals fit into the wider society through personal relationships and interactions. A socially aware individual is always conscious of how they treat others as they’d also love to be treated well.
4. Relationship Skills
SEL helps students better manage their relationship skills by learning strategies for conflict resolution and understanding other people’s needs to build positive relationships.
5. Responsible decision-making
Students are trained to understand the need to make positive decisions to realize good outcomes. This is because their decisions affect various aspects of their lives, including social, emotional, intellectual, and physical.
