Social Emotional Learning is the process by which children grow and develop their emotional lives and their relationships. —Tim Shriver, Founder, CASEL
Research has shown the positive impact SEL-focused instruction can make on students’ academic lives, including higher attendance and graduation rates as well as fewer school suspensions but how do we define Social Emotional Learning (SEL)?
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is multi-faceted and therefore can feel overwhelming but our friends at the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL ) have created a comprehensive SEL framework that highlights five important areas of SEL including Social Awareness, Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Responsible Decision-Making, and Relationship Skills.
