About
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) & Student Well-being
Background & Summary
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) has become a top priority for schools as they recognize the crucial role of emotional intelligence, mental health, and interpersonal skills in student success. Schools are actively searching for strategies to integrate SEL into their curriculum and daily practices to support students' holistic development.
The most common challenges schools face in implementing SEL include:
Addressing the rise in student anxiety, stress, and mental health challenges.
Ensuring teachers are trained to support emotional learning alongside academics.
Embedding SEL into the curriculum without taking away from core subjects.
Engaging parents and the wider community in promoting social-emotional skills.
Without a structured SEL framework, schools risk increased behavioral issues, lower student engagement, and challenges in emotional regulation and resilience.
