| Social-Emotional Learning is critical in educating the heart and mind. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children, youth and adults understand and manage emotions, while gaining insight in both personal and social context. SEL fosters resilience, connection, intra and interpersonal skills, enabling positive decision making and management.
