SELKID SEL Matrix
SELKID starts from a simple belief: big feelings aren't bad behavior; they're skills still learning to grow. From there we use the CASEL Framework — the professional standard for SEL in U.S. schools — and map each competency into classroom scenarios, triggers, emotions, and teachable skills. That is how 200+ stories form one queryable system.
Every SELKID story maps to one or more CASEL core competencies — the same framework used by schools and districts across the United States.
Trigger
What sets the moment off?
Emotion
What does the child feel?
Skill
What habit are we building?
