Empathy is a key ingredient in the development of prosocial behaviors and interpersonal problem-solving skills. It is necessary for social-emotional competence and contributes to academic success. Being able to identify, understand, and respond in a caring way to how someone is feeling provides the foundation for helpful and socially responsible behaviors, friendships, cooperation, coping, and conflict resolution, all of which help children succeed in school. There are two main goals for this unit: to develop students' ability to have empathy for others and express compassion, and to build students' skills for succeeding in school. In earlier grades, the CLISE program explicitly teaches skills for learning to ensure that students develop the foundational self-regulation skills necessary for successful participation in learning.

Although SEL skills are an important foundation, research shows that effective bullying prevention also requires developing behaviors, skills, and positive norms specific to bullying.

It's extremely important to teach students about reporting sexual abuse. Participation in a sexual abuse prevention program increases disclosure rates among students, so teaching children assertiveness and reporting skills is critical. It's also important for students to know they can seek help if they are being abused and to continue telling people until they get help. Some students may be afraid to talk about their abuse because they have been told by their abuser(s) to keep it secret. This kind of secrecy allows the abuse to continue. Therefore it's critical to teach students not to keep secrets about abuse.

Teaching students to recognize strong feelings and use Calming-Down Steps to stay in control increases coping skills and reduces aggression and other problem behaviors. In this unit, students are taught proactive strategies to help prevent strong feelings from turning into negative behaviors. When intense feelings are allowed to escalate, strong physiological reactions hamper students' ability to reason and to solve interpersonal and other problems without aggression. The ability to keep strong emotions from escalating and driving behavior allows students to employ many of the other skills taught in the CLISE program, such as effective communication, assertiveness, and problem solving. The goal of this unit is to develop students' ability to manage their own strong feelings before feelings escalate and result in negative consequences. To achieve this goal, students in fourth grade learn to:
2. Calm down, using the Calming-Down Steps:
