Social-Emotional Learning Lab: A Comprehensive SEL Resource Kit

Social-Emotional Learning Lab: A Comprehensive SEL Resource Kit (SEL Lab) provides students with concrete skills to help them think rationally in the emotionally charged, stressful situations that children face every day. This valuable resource helps school counselors, psychologists, and social workers, as well as educators and after-school program providers by giving students the tools and skills needed to deal with the stressors occurring in and out of school. Counselors and educators use this important tool to help students achieve personally, socially, academically, and vocationally. This curriculum is designed to complement and enhance any program that addresses both self-awareness and social skills by focusing on self-control, cooperative skills for working within groups, problem-solving, decision-making, and everyday skill application. The Lab can also function as a stand-alone in schools where there are no social-emotional programs being implemented. The Manual, the Decision-Making Guide, and the handouts to create your Lab Kit will assist you through the step-by-step process of initiating and implementing the SEL Lab in your setting. You will find all the forms, worksheets, games, and activity instructions you will need, available for photocopying, or you can download the Lab Kit materials. Note, the book is coil-bound. Reproducible forms and handouts for this title are available on our downloads page. These materials are designed to prepare you for your work as a Social-Emotional Learning Lab Facilitator or Lab Coordinator for your school or after-school program. In setting up this program, you will have many roles, including teacher, problem-solver, and mentor to your students.
