ECSEL Curriculum Library is a subscription-based library. You will gain unlimited access when you subscribe to the library. Individual subscription is $14.99 per month and Institution subscription is $89.99 per month with up to 20 users.

We cover 10 different learning areas that are focused on most early learning settings, including STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), art, literacy, dramatic play, music, movement, and ECSEL. ECSEL as its standalone learning area will mainly focus on social-emotional learning lessons/activities. Lessons under the ECSEL category could be used as a supplemental SEL curriculum. 

ECSEL standards are developed by the Housman team based on Dr. Donna Housman’s over 35 years of research and training. Each ECL lesson has its own learning goals focusing on these ECSEL standards. They include Emotional Identification, Emotional Understanding, Emotional Expression, Emotional Regulation, Cause & Effect, Empathy & Prosocial Skills, and Problem Solving. Learn more about ECSEL standards here.

Yes! We understand that CASEL is a nationally known SEL standard that most states are following to implement their SEL curriculum and activities. Thus, each of our ECL lessons also aligns with the CASEL five core competencies and you can filter our lessons by CASEL standard.

Under your user dashboard, go to “Digital Resources”. You should be able to see all your purchased lessons here. Use the buttons under the “Resource” column to access each lesson.  

To better support the implementation of ECSEL lessons and activities, we incorporate easy-to-use ECSEL tools and books in 30% of our lessons in the library. The current tools and books we incorporate are Our Emotions Cards and “Gilly and the Garden” book.

Sure! We welcome everyone to share our ECL lesson purchase link with peers and colleagues. You can simply click the social media icons on the lesson product description page to share. 

Unfortunately, you must create an account to check out ECL lessons because these lessons are digital items, so you won’t be able to access them without an account.
