What is Social and EMotional Learning (SEL)?

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) involves the ways in which adults and children develop knowledge, skills, and practices in five distinct areas:

1.  Self-Awareness
2.  Social Awareness
3.  Self-Management
4.  Relationship Skills
5.  Responsible Decision-Making

Benefits of SEL


SEL classrooms generate less emotional distress in the classroom. This is a direct result of students empathizing with each others' feelings and learning strong listening skills.
