Social Emotional Learning: Competencies
Ignite Student Growth Across Key SEL Competencies
Mosaic by ACT SEL framework builds upon the five core CASEL competencies: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Responsible Decision Making, Relationship Skills, and Social Awareness. These competencies drive positive gains in academic achievement and student well-being.
