Social and Emotional Learning Basics for School Counseling
At Patterson we are connecting with students every Tuesday during their Enrichment time to provide
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) which reflects on the critical role of positive relationships and emotional connections in the learning process and helps students develop a range of skills they need for school and life. SEL skills include the ability to:
set and achieve positive goals
feel and show empathy for others
establish and maintain positive relationships
make responsible decisions
understand and manage emotions
All of these skills are necessary—both for educators and students—to function well in the classroom, in the community, and in college and careers.
