SEL

What is SEL?

SEL typically refers to Social and Emotional Learning. It is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. It is commonly used in education and youth development programs to improve students' self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making, ultimately leading to better academic performance, improved behavior, and increased overall well-being.
