Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and
manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain
positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

NYSED Goals 1. Develop self-awareness and self-management skills essential to success in school and in life.2.

Demonstrate ethical decision-making skills and responsible behaviors in personal, school, and community contexts.
Why SEL? 1. Count off by 12’s2. Find your group and divide your stats3. After reading through each statistic,

Why Adult SEL? “Schools are more effective at teaching and reinforcing SEL for students when they also cultivate SEL competencies in adults. Successful SEL implementation depends on how well staff work together to facilitate SEL instruction, foster a positive school community, and model social and emotional competence. This calls on schools to focus on adults’ professional growth as educators as well as their own social and emotional learning”
(Jones et al., 2018)
46% of teachers reported high daily stress -- on par with
nurses and just above doctors (45%).
