K-12 SEL Standards (Anchorage)
Social and Emotional Learning: Standards and Benchmarks
The Anchorage School District K-12 SEL Standards and Indicators are a set of social and emotional learning (SEL) standards developed and used by the Anchorage School District (ASD) in Alaska, one of the first districts in the United States to adopt K-12 SEL standards. They focus on what children should know and be able to do in order to be successful at home, at school, in the workplace, and in life. The district is a member of CASEL’s Collaborating Districts Initiative and serves nearly 48,000 students in over 100 schools.
