What is Social Emotional Learning?

Social Emotional Learning, or SEL, is an integrated part of daily learning at Ainsworth. 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. This includes school-wide practices and routines, lessons, and individual activities.
