Social Emotional Learning

SEL AT ISD 728

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies not only enhance academic performance, but prepare students for the challenges of life and give them job readiness skills. They prioritize conflict resolution skills, responsible decision making, social and self awareness to build empathy and gain different perspectives. These skills are the KEYS to job marketability and preparing students for the real world. Academics only get you so far - whether or not you get hired depends on how you interact with others. That is what SEL is all about - Emotional Intelligence.

Key Research on SEL from Microsoft Corporation and McKinsey & Company -

"The Class of 2030 and Life-Ready Learning: The Technology Imperative

"Social-emotional skills provide students with the perspective and flexibility necessary to function at a high level even when faced with uncertainty, change, pressure, stress and other work and life changes."
"Overall, social skills, such as persuasion, emotional intelligence and teaching others - will be in higher demand across industries than narrow technical skills, such as programming or equipment operation and control. In essence, technical skills will need to be supplemented with strong social and collaboration skills."
"Research has found that high-level social-emotional skills developed during childhood are correlated with a number of beneficial long-term health and well-being outcomes as adults, including lower rates of obesity, substance abuse and criminal activity, and greater satisfaction in relationships and positive contributions to society."
