Of all the things that prepare children for success in learning and in life, good academic skills and healthy emotional skills rank at the top for importance. Children who start life with positive relationships, reinforcements and encouragement are more likely to succeed than those who lack these foundational skills. This is true, even if they have academic strengths.

Understanding Social Emotional Learning

In addition to standard academics, schools have begun to see the opportunity that exists to support learners by adding a social-emotional curriculum and evidence-based interventions. These are known as SEL programs and are designed to enrich a child’s social and emotional processing skills to help them grow into self-directed learners and self-confident, resilient healthy adults.

Integrating Social-Emotional Learning with Academics

Schools that enjoy the greatest student achievement are concerned with the well-being and success of each student. This includes helping them to build a firm foundation of resilience, motivation, and self-confidence that helps them be their personal best. In addition to academics, SEL skills that enrich and build problem-solving skills, communication skills and healthy self-esteem help students continuously strive to succeed, no matter what hurdles they face.

In schools with data-driven SEL programs led by highly trained professionals, students learn that mastering academic and life skills takes — and that bumps along the way are a normal part of the learning, reflecting and internalizing essential skills. This is how students become successful, resilient, self-directed learners as they reach new academic and personal goals.
