What is SEL?

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults learn and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to understand and manage emotions, establish and maintain positive relationships, and set and achieve goals. SEL helps people recognize who they are and how to effectively interact and work with others.
