Social Emotional Intelligence
Curriculum & Training
Social Emotional Intelligence Curriculum
Rooted in both research and real-world application, this year-long Social Emotional Intelligence (SEI) curriculum weaves together the proven practices of Restorative Justice (RJ) and the foundational principles of emotional literacy to cultivate empowered, inclusive learning communities. Developed by veteran educator and curriculum designer Anna Paris, the program equips students with the tools to understand and regulate emotions, build trust, repair harm, and navigate relationships with empathy and clarity. Aligned with both Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework, this course supports critical English Language Arts skills while addressing the five core SEL competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Designed for middle and high school students, the curriculum incorporates hands-on activities, reflective practice, and real-world applications to foster deep engagement and long-term impact. Anna draws on decades of experience teaching in urban, racially and economically diverse schools—including Vallejo City Unified School District, where over 80% of students are youth of color—to ensure the program is culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and equity-centered. The result is a transformative educational experience that not only enhances academic success but supports student mental health, peer connection, and leadership development.
Whether implemented district-wide or piloted at a single site, this curriculum offers a practical, scalable solution to the growing call for meaningful social-emotional education in today’s schools.
