Meet the bears
Five bears. Five skills. Five colors children remember.
Every bear represents one of the five core social-emotional learning skills. Children learn the skill, practice it, build their bear, and take home a meaningful reminder they can return to again and again.
Choose a Bear. Discover a Skill.
Each bear helps children connect an important SEL skill with a character, color, and message they can remember.

“I listen, communicate, care about others, and build healthy friendships.”

Built Around the Five Core SEL Competencies
Our five teddy bear lesson themes correspond with the five core competency areas of the CASEL SEL framework: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making. This makes it simple to place each workshop inside the SEL plan your school or district already uses.
CASEL is an independent organization and does not endorse or certify SEL Teddy Connections.
