Why SEL Matters in Education

When educators understand how emotions, relationships, and self-awareness impact learning, they can better support student success. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) equips students with essential life skills—like managing emotions, building healthy relationships, and making responsible decisions—that directly improve behavior, academic outcomes, and build lifelong success. For teachers, SEL strengthens classroom relationships, reduces disruptions, and fosters a more positive, supportive learning environment.
