New SEL Resources on Website The Arts Website now has an Arts + SEL webpage under "Resources." Visit to learn more about CASEL, SEL, and North Carolina's Statewide SEL plan.

NC Social Emotional Learning - Standards Mapping Documents At the beginning of these documents, you will find a short narrative of how SEL and your content area already connect, and how integrating purposeful SEL support will strengthen your students’ grasp of the content. The document then provides Activities and Practices for use in your classroom. These activity suggestions have been tailored to integrating the instruction of a core competency within your content area. The instructional practices are ways that we as educators embed those core competencies in how we speak, teach, and run our classrooms. At the end of this document you will find a quick reference crosswalk between the CASEL Core Competencies and the NC Standard Course of Study. You will find that you can easily locate places in your curriculum where you can infuse your instruction with the core competencies, because they are already present in the standard course of study. However, by integrating these competencies intentionally into our content, we engage our students more deeply while educating the whole child.

Interactive CASEL Competency Wheel The CASEL Core Competency wheel (to the left) is commonly used to show how the child (at the center) is surrounded by the competencies in the classrooms, schools, and Homes and communities. Now, you can explore the Interactive Arts + SEL Competency Wheel to learn more about how the Arts and SEL intersect. YouTube images will take you to a video highlighting the specified competency. "D" shares aligned ideas for Dance, "M" for Music, "TA" for Theatre Arts, and "VA" for Visual Arts. Click on the words in the image for descriptions of each core competency and community element. The images along the concentric blue circles are resources from partner organizations. Printable Version

North Carolina's Vision for Comprehensive Arts Education

In today's globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina's 21st century education. (Senate Bill 66: Comprehensive Arts Education Task Force, 2010)
