SEL Alignment

SEL Framework Alignment

The Petalulette SEL Program™ supports the development of core Social Emotional Learning competencies aligned with widely recognized educational frameworks such as CASEL.

Rather than teaching skills in isolation, Petalulette integrates emotional learning naturally through storytelling, creative expression, and meaningful classroom experiences.

Core Competencies Supported

Self-Awareness
Students learn to recognize and reflect on their emotions through story-based experiences and guided reflection.

Self-Regulation
Students practice responding thoughtfully to situations while exploring emotions in a calm and supportive environment.

Social Awareness
Students develop empathy and perspective-taking as they engage with characters and shared classroom moments.

Relationship Skills
Students strengthen communication, listening, and respectful interaction through storytelling and discussion.

Responsible Decision-Making
Students reflect on choices and outcomes, building awareness of how their actions affect others.

Developmentally Appropriate Learning

Petalulette introduces emotional concepts progressively across grade levels:

• Early grades focus on recognizing and expressing emotions
• Intermediate grades deepen empathy and understanding
• Upper elementary emphasizes communication, confidence, and leadership

Classroom Integration

The program combines storytelling, creative expression, and guided reflection to create a calm, engaging, and meaningful learning experience.

Students are invited to explore emotions at their own pace, supporting independence, self-awareness, and authentic connection.

Why Story-Based SEL

Storytelling provides a safe and relatable way for students to:

• explore emotions
• understand different perspectives
• express thoughts and ideas
• connect learning to real-life experiences

Petalulette supports a positive, reflective, and emotionally aware classroom environment aligned with modern SEL practices.
