SEL Curriculum
What is Social Emotional Learning?
Social emotional learning, also known as SEL, is the process for acquiring social and emotional skills for everyday success. These skills include understanding ourselves and our abilities, practicing self-control, developing goals, maintaining positive relationships, developing empathy for others, making positive choices, and much more. Essentially, social emotional learning skills are life skills. These are abilities learners need in the classroom, at home, with friends, in future relationships, and beyond.
Why is teaching SEL important?
Social and emotional learning helps teach skills that kids and teens need to be successful. Having a foundation focused on social emotional learning supports a safe and positive learning environment where all students feel free to share their voices, accept challenges, take risks, and work towards finding their individual path to success.
