Character and Social-Emotional Development
Character.org developed the Model Standards for Character and Social-Emotional Development
(CSED) in 2019 to fuse together character and social-emotional development.
Character
The first section identifies and explains the different character strengths within four areas
of character development:
- Moral
- Performance
- Intellectual
- Civic
SEL
The second section identifies and explains the five areas of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL):
- Self-awareness
- Self-management
- Social awareness
- Interpersonal/relationship skills
- Responsible & ethical decision-making
The CSED Model Standards were developed to ensure that every young person
graduating from high school is ready to enter college or the workforce with the
requisite knowledge, skills, and character strengths.
