Social-Emotional Learning Resources for Teachers
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development, providing a foundation for positive relationships, emotion management, self-awareness, and a lifelong love of learning. The VariQuest® Learning Suite offers an extensive collection of educational content materials specifically for SEL, designed to support and help every learner thrive personally and academically in these early phases of life.
Help Students Thrive Personally and Academically
People with strong social-emotional skills are better able to cope with everyday challenges, and this development starts at a young age. From character-building analysis tools to calming corner visual aids and breathing boards, VariQuest makes it easy to support the whole child in your halls and classrooms, promoting positivity and inclusivity in our great big world.
SEL Resources for Every Stage
From building emotional vocabulary in early childhood to developing self-awareness and community engagement in high school, VariQuest has SEL content for every grade and every learner.
SEL Resources for Elementary School
Elementary school is where the foundation for social-emotional development is built, and VariQuest gives teachers the ready-to-use tools to reinforce it every day. From morning greetings to calming corners, the content library makes it easy to create the kind of warm, predictable environment where young students feel safe and ready to learn. Here is what the content library makes possible:
- Emotion recognition posters, feelings charts, and the Periodic Table of Human Emotions help students name and understand what they’re experiencing
- Calming corner displays including mindful breathing guides, yoga pose posters, and reflection prompts give students a structured space to self-regulate
- Kindness and community-building materials like character posters, classroom expectation displays, and recognition awards reinforce positive behavior and belonging
- Goal-setting charts and punch cards printed on demand with the Motiva® 400 celebrate individual progress and keep students motivated
SEL Resources for Middle School
Middle school brings new social pressures and emotional complexity. VariQuest helps teachers keep SEL visible and consistent through this transition, with content that addresses the specific challenges students face as they navigate identity, peer relationships, and academic demands. Here is what that looks like in practice:
- Self-awareness and emotion management displays help students recognize their feelings and develop healthy coping strategies
- Flexible seating and classroom expectations visuals support a structured environment where students feel respected and understood
- Positive behavior reinforcement materials including behavior charts, goal-setting pages, and personalized award stickers keep students focused on growth rather than missteps
- Community-building displays and collaborative project materials encourage students to take responsibility for the culture of their classroom
SEL Resources for High School
SEL doesn’t stop at the middle school door. VariQuest supports high school teachers and counselors with content that helps older students build the self-management, relationship, and decision-making skills they need for college, careers, and adult life. Here is what the content library supports at this level:
- Stress management and mindfulness displays for classrooms and common areas give students visible tools for regulation throughout the school day
- Community and character displays reinforce school values and create a sense of belonging across a larger, more fragmented campus environment
- Recognition materials produced with the specialty printer celebrate student achievements and milestones in meaningful, personalized ways
- Student-led project materials and campaign displays support SEL through active participation, giving students ownership over the culture they help create
