Self-Awareness

Social-Awareness is one of five core competencies as reported by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). The social and emotional learning concept includes the following skills:

• Identifying emotions

• Accurate self-perception

• Recognizing strengths

• Self-confidence 

• Self-efficacy 

Elementary scholars employ self-reflection, boost emotional development, and establish positive habits that encourage a productive present and future learner. Self-awareness translates to a better relationship with one's self and ultimately with others.
