The Fly Five curriculum is standards aligned, with competencies and developmentally appropriate skills that students can practice in and out of school. The C.A.R.E.S. competencies guide educators in creating actionable learning opportunities that prepare every student for academic and behavioral success. Our standards are divided into five C.A.R.E.S. competencies: cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control.
The Fly Five C.A.R.E.S. competencies are CASEL aligned. CASEL is a trusted source of knowledge about high-quality, evidence-based social and emotional learning. CASEL seeks to help make evidence-based curriculum an integral part of education from preschool through high school. Explore our CASEL-aligned C.A.R.E.S. competencies and standards below!
