The Maine Department of Education and The Office of School & Student Supports recognizes how difficult the past few years have been on every Maine educator, support staff, and student in our schools. On #SELDay, educators, community partners, and families across the globe will collectively take a few moments to intentionally build a greater awareness for the importance of social emotional learning for helping to cultivate a strong sense of humanity.
As educators, we are instrumental in helping grow “Good Human Beings”, teaching from the “Heart ~ Brain” connected place, and building a strong sense of Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness, Relationships and helping students to Make Responsible and Reasonable Life Decisions. Many of you already access our SEL4ME program, a comprehensive PreK-12th grade library of CASEL-aligned and trauma informed lessons to help children learn all aspects of SEL. We’ve also provided for you a list of easily accessible links to elementary read alouds, mindfulness activities, and positive affirmations to embed into your lesson plans to help you structure your lesson plans around SEL DAY.
We are so grateful to your dedication and steadfastness to your profession and your love and commitment to your students.
We are proud to serve and support you~

The Theme for Maine DOE SEL International Day 2022
Growing Our Self Awareness
CASEL defines Self Awareness as the abilities to understand one's own emotions, thoughts, and values and how they influence behavior across contexts. This includes capacities to recognize one's strengths and limitations with a well-grounded sense of confidence and purpose.
To mark the third annual #SELDay, join other parents and national leaders to learn about how to best equip your kids with the emotional life skills they’ll need for success in school, relationships, work, and life.
