Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process children, youth, and adults go through to develop the skills to engage with others, manage their emotions, show empathy, handle stress, set goals, make responsible decisions, and in the long run to succeed in work and life. Social and emotional learning can improve students’ academic performance, decrease problem behavior, and increase college and career success.
During the course of this project, 10 issue briefs were prepared that summarize the current research and identify practice and policy implications of social and emotional development in children. Resources were collected for teachers, parents, schools, policymakers and others to support the social emotional development of young people. To see the series, go to Resources.
