Social Emotional Learning

WHAT IS SEL?

 

The five core competencies of social and emotional learning include: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making.  When taught these competencies, children’s Emotional Quotient (EQ) will likely increase. 

 

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Youth who receive social and emotional training typically demonstrate:

• High self-esteem and reduced anxiety¹
• An increase in academic improvements¹
• Increased attachment to school¹
• Improved behavior observed by teachers²
