CASEL was founded in 1994 by Daniel Goleman, the author of Emotional Intelligence, and educator/philanthropist Eileen Rockefeller Growald. CASEL's first years focused on gathering scientific evidence to demonstrate the contributions of social and emotional learning to students' school success, health, well-being, peer and family relationships, and citizenship. While still conducting scientific research and reviewing the best available science evidence, over time CASEL has increasingly worked to provide SEL practitioners and school administrators with the guidelines, tools, informational resources, policies, training, and supports they need to improve and expand their SEL programming.
