SEL Resources for Educators
Social and Emotional Themes
Identity & Belonging
Our identity makes us who we are. This includes our skills, passions, preferences, physical traits, culture, and language.
Feelings
Identifying emotions and managing them helps us build relationships and overcome challenges.
Similarities & Differences
Recognizing similarities and differences helps us appreciate that we have a lot in common and that everyone is unique.
Friendship
Interacting with others and treating them with kindness helps us form strong relationships.
Empathy
Walking in others’ shoes helps us understand others and form stronger relationships with them.
Problem Solving
Sharing, listening to others, solving problems together, and taking turns helps us collaborate with others.
Global Citizenship
Each of us is part of a BIG world: together, we can make the world a better, kinder place.
Big Heart World: Guide for Educators
Each month of the Big Heart World initiative, we share a guide for educators, which will enable educators to use songs from the Big Heart Beats album and other content that is part of the initiative in schools and classrooms. We welcome educators to share the Parent Guide, in English and Spanish, which is also produced each month of the initiative, with their students’ families, so that families can extend the learning beyond the classroom.
