Social Emotional Learning

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is a process that helps people develop the skills to manage their emotions, build relationships, and make responsible decisions. It's a developmental process that starts at birth and continues throughout life. 

Social-emotional learning (SEL) emerged in the 1990s, pioneered by researchers such as James Comer, Roger Weissberg, Timothy Shriver, Daniel Goleman, and Eileen Rockefeller Growald. Formalized by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), SEL aims to equip K-12 students with skills in self-awareness, self-management, relationship building, and responsible decision-making. Schools utilize SEL resources to support its implementation.
