Social Emotional Learning
As teachers, we know the key role emotions play in any learning process. Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) helps us develop a positive atmosphere in the classroom, allowing a systematic nurturing of life skills for our students. Let's help our students tap into and embrace their passions, regulate their emotions, achieve positive outcomes, and improve their communication and problem-solving skills.
By incorporating SEL into the classroom, we bridge the mind and the heart, thoughts and emotions, while offering a "more comprehensive" educational approach to our teaching.
