MySELF: My Social Emotional Learning Foundations delivers a comprehensive, research-based program that breaks down into 12 essential SEL themes through explicit, culturally relevant resources, including books, posters, and student journals. These equitable materials celebrate the diversity of today’s classrooms, encourage student reflection and family involvement, and provide extended opportunities that support all learners and strengthen communities.
