Social Emotional Learning

“All learning is social. All learning is emotional.”

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development, helping individuals manage emotions, build supportive relationships, and make responsible decisions. It promotes educational equity through collaborative school-family-community partnerships, creating environments that foster trust and rigorous learning. SEL empowers young people and adults to contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities.
