“Social Emotional Learning is important because it encompasses the whole child. From skills to overcome intense emotions, to managing anger or reevaluating a situation, scholars’ self-awareness increases, and in addition, their positive behaviors increase inside and outside the classroom. I truly feel if scholars are participating in social emotional learning, they become better equipped to navigate the pressures of adult life.”
