What is Social and Emotional Learning and why is it important?
CASEL (The Collaborative for Academic and Social Learning), an organization based at the University of Illinois, defines Social Emotional Learning as "the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply 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 positive decisions."
There has been a shift in how educators and child development experts think about the skills that students need to be successful in school and in life. Some researchers now suggest that a child's success or or failure isn't only determined by cognitive skills, as once thought; Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills, or those most related to character, including grit, optimism and self-awareness, are other important contributors to student success.
School counselors are a resource for students, teachers, parents and administrators to help our understanding of ourselves and our relationships with one another.
