Ed Surge – Kate Baker
“Social and emotional learning is learning about life and how to function as a member of society. SEL is promoted every day by educators and students as they focus on honing core skills like self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, relationship skills, and social awareness. When students lack these skills, they become disconnected, disaffected, and potentially disruptive. Classroom learning and management all begin with relationships, and SEL can guide the relationship and community building process. In this light, SEL should not be reserved for special projects but instead woven into the daily culture of both the in-person and virtual classroom.” (more)
