The Social-Emotional Learning Hub For Black People
What is Black SEL?
Black SEL is a customized approach to social and emotional learning (SEL) that serves as a primary vehicle for cultural transmission, specifically tailored to the experiences, needs, and cultural contexts of Black students and communities.
Why Black SEL Matters?
Culturally relevant, research-based SEL resources are crucial, especially for Black youth. Black SEL was created to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline by providing essential skills and resources to school communities.
