About SEL

Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

SEL is a deeply ingrained part of the way students and adults interact both in the classroom and out of it, and helps provide children with equitable, supportive, and welcoming learning environments.

A systemic approach to SEL intentionally cultivates a caring, participatory, and equitable learning environment and evidence-based practices that actively involve all students in their social, emotional, and academic growth. This approach infuses social and emotional learning into every part of students’ daily lives—across all of their classrooms, during all times of the school day, and when they are in their homes and communities.

社會情緒學習 (SEL)

社會情緒學習（SEL）是指兒童與成人學習理解與管理情緒、設定並達成正向目標、對他人展現同理心、建立並維持正向人際關係，以及做出負責任決策的過程。

SEL 深植於學生與成人在教室內外互動的方式之中，並有助於為孩子們營造公平、支持且具包容性的學習環境。

以系統性方式推動 SEL，意味著有意識地培養一個關懷、具參與感且公平的學習環境，同時運用以實證為基礎的做法，積極促進所有學生在社會、情緒與學業上的成長。這樣的做法會將社會情緒學習融入學生每日生活的各個面向——包括在教室課堂之中、在校園的不同時段，以及學生在家庭與社區中的生活情境。
