Social Emotional Wellbeing
Social-Emotional Learning can become the foundation of good character, academic achievement, relationship health and general wellbeing.
Social Emotional Learning
The concept of social-emotional learning (SEL) is simple: All humans are both thinking and feeling beings. Students can’t check their emotions at the door any more than they can check their brains, and they need to build their emotional acumen as intentionally as their intellect. These are not ‘extracurricular’ or ‘soft’ skills. Good, strong SEL can become the foundation of good character, academic achievement, relationship health and general wellbeing. School is the perfect environment for children to learn these skills since it is social by its very design. A curriculum that emphasizes social-emotional learning does two things: 1) it gives students specific skills that make them more successful in relating to others, and 2) it teaches them how to manage their emotions so that they are more available for academic learning.
