1.SEL benefits are long term. These are long term life outcomes. I think this is so important and something we don't talk about enough. SEL is one of those things that we talked about a lot for a while (Covid) and now we've gotten away from it. I hope our district will start talking about it more and placing importance on it again.

2. We have to understand ourselves to understand others. Kids have to be able to recognize their own emotions, feelings and reactions to social situations.

3.I heard a lot about a systemic curriculum for SEL. I wish our district had something like that. I don't think it's a stretch to say its important enough to put into our curriculum cycle. 

4."It's really important that school allocate time for SEL instruction but also equally important that this is included in the content students are learning". 

5. Adults in the school should have time to develop their own social emotional learning.
