The Fly Five curriculum is standards aligned, with competencies and developmentally appropriate grade-level skills that students can practice in and out of school. These SEL competencies, known as C.A.R.E.S., guide educators in creating actionable learning opportunities that prepare every student for academic and behavioral success. Fly Five’s SEL standards are divided into five C.A.R.E.S. SEL competencies, which are cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control. Learn how your state’s SEL standards align with Fly Five.
The Fly Five C.A.R.E.S. competencies and the comprehensive SEL standards 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 SEL an integral part of education from preschool through high school. Explore our CASEL-aligned C.A.R.E.S. competencies and standards below!

In order to help bring your educational vision to life, our components are intentionally designed to:
The Mindful Student® curriculum can be used to embed instruction in identifying and managing emotions and emotional responses throughout the day.
The Fly Five curriculum offers a wide variety of dynamic, engaging materials that can be adapted to meet the unique needs of each and every classroom and school community.
Teachers receive two hours of training in how to use the curriculum and 10 hours per year (30 hours over three years) of asynchronous PD intended to develop their own SEL competence and content knowledge.
The School-to-Home Connections (SHC) are designed to support parent or caregiver engagement, continue SEL learning at home, and connect to what students are learning at school.
Our curriculum is designed to support the Fly Five Theory of Change, which targets positive outcomes for teachers, students, and families alike. By supporting the development of SEL competence, educational stakeholders can improve student behaviors and academic performance.
In a recent study, we examined the effectiveness of the Fly Five curriculum in three international schools. Data highlighted SEL skill improvement, increased student engagement, and strengthened sense of school belonging, among other positive outcomes. This research is part of an ongoing study exploring how Fly Five builds students’ SEL competence and leads to positive behavioral and academic outcomes. Check out the details of the study below.
