What is Social and Emotional Learning?
Social and emotional learning (SEL) involves processes through which children and adults develop fundamental emotional and social competencies 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.
6
SEL takes place within the context of safe, participatory school, family, and community environments that support children’s development and provide opportunities and recognition for successfully applying these competencies.

Use social-awareness and interpersonal
skills to establish and
maintain positive
relationships.

Why Cultivate Our Own SE Competencies?
• Positive relationships enhance the smooth and effective functioning of the school.
• Positive, satisfying relationships among staff improve the educational experience for all learners.
• Modeling is important for developing SEL in students.
• These competencies help foster a Relationship Centered Classroom.
10
Self-Awareness
• Labeling one’s feelings• Relating feelings and thoughts to
behavior and actions• Accurate self-assessment of strengths
and challenges• Self-efficacy • Optimism
11
SELF- Management
• Managing stress• Self-control• Self-motivation• Regulating one’s emotions• Setting and achieving goals
12
Social Awareness
• Perspective taking• Empathy• Appreciating diversity• Understanding social and ethical
norms for behavior• Recognizing family, school, and
community supports13
Relationship Skills
• Building relationships with diverse individual and groups
• Communicating clearly• Working cooperatively• Resolving conflicts• Seeking help
14
15
Responsible Decision Making
• Considering the well being of self and others
• Recognizing one’s responsibility to behave ethically
• Basing decisions on safety, social and ethical considerations
• Making constructive safe choices about self, relationships and school
SEL Competencies for School Staff
• Take 5 minutes to look over the SEL competencies and sub-skills.
• Individually: – Identify and mark areas of your:• Strengths (+)• Areas for growth (0)
• Pair Share:– In what competencies do you feel the strongest? – Which ones are your biggest challenge?– In which areas do you see students needing the most
development?
16
Adult SEL Competence and Learning
• Adults who have the ability to recognize, understand, label, express, and regulate emotions are more likely to demonstrate patience and empathy, encourage healthy communication, and create safe learning environments .
(Brackett, Katella, Kremenitzer, Alster, and Caruso, 2008).• Emotional skills of teachers influence student conduct, engagement,
attachment to school, and academic performance (Baker, 1999; Hawkins, 1999; Schaps, Battistich, & Solomon, 1997; Sutton & Wheatley, 2003; Wentzel, 2002).
• Teachers skilled at regulating their emotions report less burnout and more positive affect while teaching
(Brackett, Mojsa, Palomera, Reyes, & Salovey, 2008).• School leaders with strong SEL competencies build and maintain
positive and trusting relationships among members of the school community (Patti and Tobin, 2006).
17
SEL Competencies for Students
• Your group will be given one of the five competencies to review.
• As a group decide which of the sub-skills under the competency your table would like to discuss.
• Draw a T-Chart and list the competency and the skill on one side, and on the other side list the impact on learning.
• Share in the large group.
18
Impact of SEL on Student Learning
Self-Management:
Students can control their impulses.
Impact on Learning:
• Students stay on task.
• More time for instruction.
• Students can work together.

What Does the Research Say?
20
Science Links SEL to Student Gains (percentile point improvements)
• Social-emotional skills (23)• Improved attitudes about self, others, & school (9)• Positive classroom behavior (9)• Gain on standardized achievement tests (11)
And Reduced Risks for Failure: • Conduct problems (9) • Emotional distress (10)

SEL Improves Student Outcomes
21
Why Implement SEL in Schools?
• Relationships provide a foundation for learning.• Emotions affect how and what we learn.• Social and emotional skills can be taught.• SEL has positive impact on academic performance,
health, relationships, and citizenship.• SEL skills and attitudes are demanded by employers. • SEL provides a coordinating framework to overcome
fragmentation of prevention and positive youth development programs.
22
SEL In Action
“Stop. Think. Act. The Rise of Social and Emotional Learning” As you watch this video, reflect on what you learn in terms of:
• SEL instruction• Research that supports it• SEL connection to academic success• Integration of SEL into many aspects of school life

ALL STUDENTS(Examples: PBIS or Foundations, Second Step, Restorative Conversations, Talking Circles)
FEW INDIVIDUALIZED INTERVENTIONSFor students with the highest levels of need, highly-targeted and individualized
behavior strategies provide more intensive intervention and monitoring.
TARGETED SUPPORTSFor at-risk students, classroom-based responses can help de-escalate behavior problems, clinical
group interventions address anger, trauma, and violence; and restorative practices provide students with strategies to resolve conflicts
CREATE POSITIVE LEARNING CLIMATESchool climates with positive relationships, clear expectations, and collective
responsibility establish appropriate behaviors as the norm. Respectful, learning-focused, participatory classroom environments with well-managed procedures and
behaviors maximize learning time
TEACH SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLSExplicit curricula, along with integrated instructional practices that promote social and
emotional development, teach students how to form positive relationships, make responsible decisions, and set goals. These are critical skills for college and career success.
Multi-Tiered System of Support for Social & Emotional Learning
(Ex. Individualized Counseling)
Explicit Instruction of SEL Skills
• Evidence-based SEL program (PATHS for grades k-2. and grade 3 in year two
• Delivered with fidelity to the program design
• High-quality SEL skills instruction is S.A.F.E.– Sequenced activities to develop skills– Active forms of learning– Focused attention on SEL in the curriculum– Explicit target of particular SEL skills for
development

Integrating SEL with Curriculum Standards
28
Common Core State Standards require deeper understanding of core skills and the ability to apply them.
To achieve this requires:
Student acquisition of social and emotional skills Fundamental changes to pedagogy Safe and supportive classroom context
Beyond Common Core, SEL Learning Standards developed by the district may be aligned with learning standards in other subject areas.
CCSS Mathematical Practices
• 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.• 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.• 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.• 4. Model with mathematics.• 5. Use appropriate tools strategically.• 6. Attend to precision.• 7. Look for and make use of structure.• 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
MP1 Through an SEL Lens
To make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, students must:– Believe that they can be successful.– Monitor and sustain focus/attention.– Keep trying, even when it seems too hard.– Monitor emotions and manage frustration.– Carefully choose a strategy for solving the
problem.– Adopt new strategies as needed.
MP3 Through an SEL Lens
To construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, students must:– Clearly explain their thinking to others.– Listen carefully to others’ thinking.– Ask probing and clarifying questions.– Be aware of their peers’ feelings.– Show respect for others’ thinking. – Respectfully point out flaws in others’
reasoning.– Resolve disagreements.

Reflection and Sharing Activity
• In your small groups talk about what you are doing in your classrooms to promote SEL. Be prepared to share with the whole group.
• As a school let’s share what we are doing to promote SEL schoolwide. List the schoolwide SEL practices, activities and support for discussion and clarification.

Imagine…
When a school makes the social and emotional developmentof every student a priority:
1. What do you see in the classroom and on the walls?
2. What do you hear young people and adults saying?
3. How do students and staff interact in all venues?
4. What teaching practices do you see in classroom?
5. What feelings do you have witnessing this interaction?
Now imagine this for every school…..
