Handbook for Holistic Learning: Implementing the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in Kenya

Created by Childhood Education International, this handbook supports Kenyan teachers in implementing the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) through holistic, inclusive, and social-emotional learning (SEL) approaches. Designed for use within Teacher Learning Circles and professional communities, it offers practical strategies, CBC-aligned lesson plans, and reflective activities to foster belonging and resilience among all learners, especially those from refugee or vulnerable backgrounds. The handbook bridges global SEL and MHPSS frameworks with local classroom realities, encouraging collaboration, peer learning, and continuous professional growth.
