Social and Emotional Learning.
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development.
​
SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.
SEL in Communities.
Students thrive when they’re supported by a network of adults working together to create a supportive environment.
​
Community organizations have a key role to play in this effort, partnering with schools and families to extend the experience of SEL through opportunities for trusting relationships with adults and enriching out-of-school time (OST) experiences.
