Listen to a fellow NC parent share how she used CFNC.org to help her student plan for high school, college, and career:
Let's talk about SEL (Social-Emotional Learning)
What is social-emotional learning?
SEL is an acronym for social-emotional learning. According to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, it’s the process by which we learn and apply social-emotional knowledge, attitudes, and skills for understanding and managing emotions, setting and achieving goals, establishing and maintaining relationships, and feeling and showing empathy for others. The video below explains SEL in less than three minutes.
What are social-emotional skills?
Social-emotional skills are the strategies one has for managing strong emotions, navigating relationships, working effectively with others, solving difficult problems, and making responsible decisions.
Why are social-emotional skills a focus in school?
With social-emotional skills, young people can learn how to establish rewarding relationships with others, maintain meaningful relationships, and handle difficult social situations. They can manage times of high stress, and during times of anger, keep from launching into destructive actions they may regret later.
