What is SEL?
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) helps you learn, grow and develop in life. This enables you to understand and manage your emotions, build fantastic relationships with others, and level up in life!
SEL has five core pillars. Understanding and learning the skills can help you and your friends achieve SEL 5**:
- Self-awareness: It's like having a special compass that helps you understand your thoughts, feelings, and strengths. Knowing what makes you happy, worried, and what you're good at is the first step in achieving SEL 5**.
- Self-management: It's like having a shield to protect yourself from negative emotions and make good choices. With skills like deep breathing and staying calm in tough situations, you can conquer any challenge that comes your way.
- Social awareness: It's like having a pair of magical glasses that allow you to see and understand the feelings and perspectives of others. Being empathetic, listening carefully, and showing kindness are your secret skills.
- Relationship skills: Building strong and positive connections with others shows your charisma. Effective communication, teamwork, and conflict resolution are the keys to forming awesome alliances.
- Responsible decision-making: It's like having a wise mentor guiding you to make choices that are fair and considerate of others. Think about the consequences of your actions and making responsible decisions.
So, why is SEL important? Well, it's like a key that unlocks success in school, work, and all areas of life. It helps you communicate effectively, solve problems peacefully, and be a compassionate and confident individual.
