Social and Emotional Learning
in High School:
Self-Management
The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) identifies self-management as one of the five core competencies of social and emotional learning. Self-management includes a number of different soft skills including but not limited to the following:
- Impulse control
- Stress management
- Self-discipline
- Self-motivation
- Goal-setting
- Organizational skills
As teens take on more and more adult roles and greater independence it is essential that they develop self-management skills. Practicing and honing these skills in a supportive classroom community prepares them for the challenges they will face as they continue to mature.
