1. How would you define Social-Emotional Learning and why is it important?
- SEL seeks 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. SEL is not only about the individual's emotional intelligence but also about fostering a supportive and collaborative social environment.This is really important as a teacher to also learn/teach this with our students.
2. How is integrating SEL into the curriculum different from traditional education?
- It is different because it focuses on different things like building relationships, maintaining mental health, applications into real life, and more soft skills rather than simply content curriculum.
