What is SOCIAL and EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL)? It is about becoming SKILLED in dealing with yourself, your relationships, and your learning. There are three words in SEL: SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL and LEARNING.
-
SOCIAL is about us learning social skills. It is about showing empathy, for example learning to understand other people (pupils/peers/adults) and showing them appreciation. It is about creating positive relationships to others, for example learning how to collaborate with others and being kind. We can learn SOCIAL SKILLS.
-
EMOTIONAL is about learning to manage our emotions. We can experience both positive and negative emotions and thoughts. If we learn to ACCURATELY RECOGNISE and MANAGE our emotions and thoughts we can choose positive actions and make constructive choices. We can learn EMOTIONAL SKILLS.
-
LEARNING indicates that social and emotional skills can be LEARNED by children and youth. Social and emotional skills can also be TAUGHT by adults. Children and youth learn from each other. But children and youth also need a lot of guidance and modelling from adults. We can strengthen social and emotional skills through mindful and systematic training. Then we can get along better with others and it can help us in all learning.
