About Grade 6 SEL
Grade 6 social-emotional learning (SEL) (6th grade, ages 11β12) is 40 lessons in 5 units: Unit 1 β Self-Awareness (lessons 1β8), Unit 2 β Self-Management (lessons 9β16), Unit 3 β Social Awareness (lessons 17β24), Unit 4 β Relationship Skills (lessons 25β32), and finally Unit 5 β Decisions & Transitions (lessons 33β40), project work that brings the year together. Along the way, children learn to define mistake, feedback, corrective, defensive, growth response and retry, define conflict, resolution and escalation in everyday terms and define trust as a track record built from many small, reliable actions.
Start here: Lesson 1: Strengths and Values Inventory is free to open and print. Every other lesson has a free preview of its mini lesson and vocabulary.
Paper first: each lesson is printed before you call your child. You read it once and talk it through, your child does the exercises on paper, and you correct together with the Parent checklist β about 45 minutes at the table. The next day, a 10-minute screen review of the same lesson.
