What is it and why is it important?
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process of developing the self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success.
Students who participate in SEL programs show*:
- Higher academic and life outcomes
- Lower high-risk behaviors such as violence, drug and alcohol use
- Lower likelihood to be bullies or be bullied
- And many others!
