1. Social emotional learning is teaching students the essential skills they need in order to navigate life successfully. Depending on a students background and their relationship/feelings toward school, social emotional learning in schools may help students to feel more positively about school and makes them more likely to feel comfortable at school. It teaches kids how to problem solve, think critically, advocate for themselves, communicate effectively, and more. All of these skills are skills that these students will need throughout the rest of their lives.
