All Changing Perspectives curriculum resources are custom designed for each grade level to provide the tools for ongoing social-emotional learning.
PreK
Social-emotional learning, or SEL, is an essential component of every child’s education and development. The seeds of SEL are sown beginning at birth and early childhood is a critical time for establishing the roots of these essential skills.
Elementary
Once considered a “soft” skill set, SEL is now recognized as an integral factor in academic, career, and life success.SEL positions students for overall well-being and supports them in developing the resiliency, collaborative skills, and confidence needed in life.
Middle School
To ensure today’s students can become tomorrow’s inclusive leaders, we must provide them with meaningful experiences to learn about disabilities in safe and respectful ways that promote empathy and connection.
High School
To prepare teens to become inclusive leaders beyond school, it’s important to hone social emotional concepts in more complex and holistic ways.
Social Emotional Learning helps improve traditional academics by engaging students in awareness activities to help improve empathy, interpersonal relationships, and teamwork. These concepts develop and expand and are important elements of contentment and academic and life success.
