SEL Questions and Answers

What is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)? 

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. 

What is a huddle? 

A huddle is a virtual meeting with your supervisor and fellow GDYT participants. SEL Huddles will happen once a week. During the huddle, you will learn about a skill and complete activities. Your supervisor will also review the habit practice required for that week. Reach out to your supervisor to find out what day and time your huddles will take place. 

What is habit practice? 

Habit practices are activities that you will complete at home on your own. The habit practice will help you practice the social and emotional skills that you learned about that week in your huddle. 

Who do I reach out to if I have questions?

All Social and Emotional Learning questions can be answered by your supervisor.
