This week’s CASEL Core Competency: Social Awareness
Social awareness: The abilities to understand the perspectives of and empathize with others, including those from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and contexts. This includes the capacities to feel compassion for others, understand broader historical and social norms for behavior in different settings, and recognize family, school, and community resources and supports.
Ideas for growing in Social Awareness:
Reflect on your social group- what identities are represented? Who is missing? Why might it be hard to meet and make friends from these identities? What ideas do you have to expose yourself to a more diverse community? Watch out for tokenizing people. We are not objects and connections should be genuine.
Service projects with reflection
Reading from diverse authors with diverse stories
Intentional family check ins can function to support self awareness and social awareness. Use questions to share your experiences, then do a round where family members share their interpretation of what others said.
