Social-Emotional Character
Development
Social: Human relations and interactions
Emotional: Feelings and behavior
Character Development: Success skills
What Is It?
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire 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. Social and emotional skills are critical to being a good student and citizen.
