Social and Emotional Learning
Using News-O-Matic for SEL
As social and emotional learning (SEL) plays an increasingly important role in the curriculum, News-O-Matic is committed to publishing stories that help students recognize, acquire, and practice these skills.
CASEL Standards
Many News-O-Matic stories are aligned with the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) SEL Competencies. Our content helps students develop skills in self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship building, and responsible decision-making.
Examples of SEL Content
From our "NOM Helps" series during the coronavirus outbreak to our "Handling Racism" series to stories about kids in the news, News-O-Matic introduces kids to topics that help. Our SEL content includes real-world stories, how-to guides, and more.
News-O-Matic publishes stories to help students learn how to process and manage their emotions.
For back-to-school, News-O-Matic is publishing 21 stories related to the five core competencies of SEL.
News-O-Matic publishes a diversity of perspectives from around the world — especially from kids.
