SEL develops the knowledge to understand emotions of oneself and others to navigate the world.

Social Emotional Learning provides individuals with the skills and knowledge to manage emotions, establish positive relationships, achieve goals, develop resiliency and problem solve. SEL encompasses a wholistic development of an individual. Social Emotional Learning teaches how to establish and maintain positive relationship. Individuals learn how to be resilient to adversity and how to apply problem solving skills. 
All learning is relational. Integrating Social Emotional Learning into curriculum allows educator and learners to understand the whole person first before academics. Individuals are more mindful of their interactions and relationships. SEL looks at the essential skills people need to be successful in life.
