What is Social Emotional Learning?

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) helps children and adults understand their feelings,  build positive relationships, and make responsible choices. Learning these skills helps kids do well in school and in life.

Key Points in Social-Emotional Learning: 

​

  • Partnerships among all stakeholders is Key! 
  • Positive SEL outcomes require consistent and explicit instruction (+ follow-up).
  • Rooted in a growth mindset and the power of …. Yet! (adults and students).
