SEL(social-emotional learning) is a whole-child approach to learning.  It provides tools students need in order to navigate the world and not just be good students but to also be good people.  At the same time, it is pivotal to education.  The video describes learning as being both relational and driven by emotion.  At one point the video explains this by stating that people “learn when the heart is open” and that SEL creates the conditions for that.
