1.SEL is the ability to teach the whole student. It allows students to be more well rounded and focuses on their ability to create relationships, navigate social scenarios and communicate effectively. Communication is the key piece here. It gives students the practice to understand and communicate their needs, to communicate with their peers and their educators.
2. Integrating SEL into teaching practices is different that traditional education in that there is no longer a focus strictly on academic knowledge like vocabulary or procedural skills or teaching to a test. Instead SEL caters to all of the needs that students may have in your classroom and allows educators to tap into skills that students will use for the rest of their lives.
