Social and Emotional

Core Competencies

Friendzy utilizes five core competencies of social and emotional learning.

 

Research shows that social and emotional learning positively supports the mindsets, skills, and confidence of students to manage their emotions, make good decisions, and build healthy relationships and strong communities—equipping kids with skills necessary for success in school and life.

Friendzy utilizes the following five core competencies of social and emotional learning as a framework for all Friendzy lessons:

  1. Self-Awareness — The ability to recognize personal emotions, values, strengths, and limitations

  2. Self-Management — The ability to manage behaviors to achieve personal goals

  3. Responsible Decision Making — The ability to make constructive choices about personal and social behavior

  4. Social-Awareness — The ability to show understanding and empathy for others

  5. Relationships Skills — The ability to form positive relationships, work in teams and deal effectively with conflict

Consider how you can teach these five critical competencies and skills to your students. LEARN MORE ABOUT FRIENDZY
