  • Emotional regulation—also known as self-management in CASEL’s framework—plays a critical role in helping young people focus, collaborate, and thrive.
  • It’s also a key factor in preparing students to be future ready: equipped with the skills and mindsets to live fulfilling personal and professional lives.
  • This webinar brought together leading voices in research, policy, education, and business to discuss how these skills prepare the next generation with the human skills that fuel relationships, achievement, health, and success.

“At the heart of social and emotional learning and development is emotional regulation, also known as self-management in the CASEL framework. It’s the foundational skill topping educators list of urgent classroom concerns.”

Dr. Aaliyah A. Samuel, CASEL President and CEO, highlights this skill in her introduction to Emotion Regulation: The Missing Key to Future Readiness—From Classrooms to Careers. In this webinar, Dr. Samuel joined a panel of experts to consider the ways this critical competency supports students in the classroom and far beyond to successful lives and careers.
