SEL Task Force

Backward Design SEL/HPE Units

The purpose of the SEL Task Forces is to provide the field with resources related to incorporating SEL within skills-based health (SBHE) education & PE.

View Unit Plans below Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is often promoted as an initiative separate from health and physical education (HPE). Working within the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model and identifying where and how SEL is incorporated within HPE can provide a seamless and comprehensive approach while increasing the value of health and physical education.
