SEL

At Sachse High School, Social Emotional Learning is more than just a concept - it is our way of teaching at the hearts of our students. Guided by CASEL's framework, educators at Sachse strive to provide their students with Collaboration for Academic, Social & Emotional Learning (CASEL.)

Below, you will find the CASEL framework and a video explanation of what SEL looks like for our students.

CASEL's "SEL Wheel Framework"

Social Emotional Learning is a diverse concept that reaches beyond the brick and mortar building that our students learn in.

SEL is about understanding how educators make stronger and more beneficial impacts in the lives of our students. In order to do so, our teachers and administration agree that impactful learning begins at the heart of the human being.

While our content is paramount and the pedagogical strategies used are critical to your student's academic success, there are moments where our content meets the experience of our students. In those moments, our ability to relate and support our students shines the brightest.

To better understand what that looks like, please view the video below.
