SEL Superpowers Lesson Plan
In this 30-minute lesson, 5th graders will learn what Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is, identify their own SEL “superpowers” (e.g., self-awareness, empathy), and practice applying them through reflection and sharing.
Developing SEL skills helps students manage emotions, build empathy, make responsible decisions, and create a positive classroom community, supporting academic and personal success.
