Social and Emotional Learning
What Is Social and Emotional Learning?
Social and emotional learning teaches children how to deal with their emotions, resist impulsive behavior, resolve conflict, and make positive and effective choices. Social and emotional learning develops the essential skills that children need to be successful in school and in life.
Research shows important connections between children's social and emotional skills and academic performance. When students feel safe and good about themselves, they tend to do better academically.
