An SEL Curriculum for Middle School Is Crucial to Student Achievement
","subheadline":"","richtext":"
Programs with built-in SEL components support teachers in implementing an effective social-emotional learning curriculum for middle school students. As these students enter a critical period in their lives, SEL in education considers their developmental needs and ensures they develop self-awareness as they find real-world solutions to the challenges they encounter.
The five SEL competencies—self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness—are infused throughout our evidence-backed core, intervention, and supplemental programs.

An SEL Curriculum for Middle School Is Crucial to Student Achievement
Programs with built-in SEL components support teachers in implementing an effective social-emotional learning curriculum for middle school students. As these students enter a critical period in their lives, SEL in education considers their developmental needs and ensures they develop self-awareness as they find real-world solutions to the challenges they encounter.
Integrate SEL into the Curriculum
The five SEL competencies—self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness—are infused throughout our evidence-backed core, intervention, and supplemental programs.
Build Connections in the Classroom
SEL in middle school can develop positive relationships among teachers and students. While participating in classroom discussions and collaborative activities, students learn how to communicate clearly and form connections with classmates.
Improve Self-Management Skills
With SEL lessons, middle school students develop self-management skills that will benefit them in school and life. They learn to navigate peer relationships and resolve conflicts. They set goals and develop action plans to achieve them.
The A Chance in the World SEL Curriculum
Supplement SEL programs for middle school students with the A Chance in the World curriculum, based on the best-selling memoir by Steve Pemberton. Students strengthen SEL and ELA skills with discussion starters, related readings, project ideas, and a personal narrative writing workshop.
