Fly Five SEL instruction supports students’ social, emotional, academic, and behavioral growth by implementing the five research-based C.A.R.E.S. competencies—cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control. All grade levels have five units, each with four themes based on the C.A.R.E.S. standards. The C.A.R.E.S. competencies align with the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) core competencies, which is a trusted source for thought leadership on high-quality, evidence-based social and emotional learning.
