Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development.

The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) defines SEL as: “The process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.”
