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.
