About SEL Journeys
Exclusively available through CATCH, SEL Journeys provides age-differentiated lessons aligned to the CASEL Framework for Systemic Social and Emotional Learning.
The K-12 program uses movement and cultural learning to teach and reinforce SEL concepts via a highly engaging digital platform. SEL Journeys can be used as a stand-alone program, but together with CATCH you have a one-stop solution to support kids’ physical and mental health.
Coordinating a campus around a Whole Child approach to wellness provides a foundation upon which all physical and mental well-being programs and initiatives can thrive. It is well-documented that healthy kids are better learners and social & emotional skills lead to better academic and life outcomes.
Our Approach to Movement & Cultural Learning
The movement activities included in SEL Journeys are inspired by dances from around the world. This curriculum has been informed by careful research and consultation with cultural experts for each genre.
Authenticity
All material is inspired by authentic dance steps. Our intention is to celebrate and appreciate each culture, while treating the origins of the movement with reverence and respect.
Equity & Inclusivity
Movement therapy research and physical education best practices inform any modifications made to authentic movements to ensure the content is developmentally appropriate for students and inclusive of diverse learners. Additionally, the SEL curriculum was written in collaboration with one of the authors’s of CASEL’s “Equity & Social Emotional Learning” framework brief.
Fostering Unity
We embrace movement as a powerful way to unite people in celebration of our shared humanity.
