What is Social Emotional Learning?

According to CASEL, social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs suggests that we must satisfy lower level needs before moving on to achieve higher levels of growth.

When a child does not have their basic needs for food or shelter met, other needs get put on the back burner resulting in a struggle to be successful in school and have positive relationships.

To help students (and families) be successful, you can find a list of resources to help meet physiological needs if you click on the "Resources for Home" link at the top of the page.
