Classroom Management
Social and emotional learning (SEL), according to the CASEL, is the process through which children understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, and make responsible decisions. The primary goal of social and emotional learning is to improve student`s capacity to establish and maintain healthy relationships through establishing a safe, positive, and mutually beneficial environment. The five pillars of SEL are: self-awareness; self-management; social awareness; relationship skills; and responsible decision-making. The five SEL competencies are vital to the teaching and understanding of social and emotional learning at school. Self-awareness – students learn to understand their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as see their behavior`s influence on other people. An example of this in practice would be coaching and simulation sessions where students would recognize how certain actions may affect others so that they can learn how to perceive their own feelings as well as what other people may be feeling.
