What is SEL and why is it so important? SEL supports students (and adults) in learning and applying the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills necessary for self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship building, and responsible decision-making. Students who engage with SEL are proven to perform better academically, demonstrate positive social behavior, have fewer conduct problems, and have lower levels of emotional distress.
