Social and emotional learning is often assumed to happen naturally in the course of a child’s development without being taught. But when children don’t master these skills, they often develop behavior problems that, in turn, can interfere with their functioning in school and their ability to learn.

Social and emotional learning (SEL) aims to teach kids things like managing difficult emotions, making responsible decisions, handling stress, setting goals, and building healthy relationships.

It's been shown that SEL can help children feel more confident and happy in the classroom and in life in general.

Research shows that SEL consistently has positive effects on students' success - from their academic performance and behavior to their ability to manage stress.

Explicit SEL instruction might include lessons on how to identify and label your feelings, build your emotional vocabulary, consider other people's perspectives and experiences, and brainstorm solutions to problems.

But the key to effectively teaching SEL competencies is reinforcing these lessons every day in the classroom.
