The process of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) involves helping children and adults understand and manage their emotions, act ethically and responsibly, set and achieve positive goals, show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. These skills are essential for a successful life.

Research has shown that students who participate in SEL programs experience improved academic performance, relationships, and behaviors. Additionally, teachers who teach SEL can improve their relationships with students, leading to better social adjustment and academic competence among their students.
