Social emotional learning (SEL) is crucial for students as it provides them with essential skills beyond academics that are necessary for success in school, career, and life. Through SEL, students learn how to manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, develop empathy and understanding for others, make responsible decisions, and effectively communicate their thoughts and feelings. By implementing SEL, educators can help students develop into well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also emotionally intelligent and equipped to thrive in diverse settings.
