What is SEL?
What is SEL?
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) provides evidence to show that the success of a child is interdependent on not just academics but also their social and emotional skills. With many schools focused on the holistic development of the child, academic intelligence and social emotional intelligence deserve equal importance in the development of an individual as a whole.
According to CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning) (2020) the formal definition of "Social Emotional Learning is seen as a process where children and adults learn, understand and manage their emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions".
SEL Focuses on:
SEL Focuses on:
learning to manage emotions
caring about others
making positive decisions
behave ethically and responsibly
developing positive relationships and attitudes
avoiding inappropriate/ negative behaviours
“Social, emotional and cognitive competencies develop throughout our lives and are essential to success in our schools, workplaces, homes, and communities and allow individuals to contribute to meaningfully to society."
(Jones & Kahn, The Evidence Base for How We Learn, 2017) “Social, emotional and cognitive competencies develop throughout our lives and are essential to success in our schools, workplaces, homes, and communities and allow individuals to contribute to meaningfully to society."
SEL a Holistic Approach to Learning
SEL a Holistic Approach to Learning
SEL focuses on a holistic development of an individual as a WHOLE. Incorporating SEL skills strengthens the inner deep connections between the brain and the heart found within everyone. With SEL the learning process is very unique and personal to each individual and how it impacts their growth during each stage of development from preschool to adulthood.
SEL Focuses on 3 Domains
SEL Focuses on 3 Domains
Cognitive Skills: focuses on attention control, inhibiting inappropriate response, working memory and cognitive flexibility or set shifting
Emotional Processes: focuses on emotional knowledge and expression, emotional and behavioral regulation and empathy perspective taking
Social and Interpersonal Skills: focuses on understanding social cues, interpreting others’ behavior, navigating social situations, interacting positively with peers and adults
These 3 domains have short and long term outcomes in terms of, academic achievement, behavioral adjustment and emotional health well-being for an individual. Hence strengthening and developing skills in each of these domains foster the growth of an individual as a whole being.
