|
| In every society, as far as schooling is concerned, the objective is to make schooling productive. Educators, governments, and parents want kids and students to develop wholly (in all aspects of human development) and become the best possible. Schools are the breeding grounds for knowledgeable and responsible adults. For kids to become knowledgeable, they must be motivated and ready to learn and demonstrate the capability of integrating new information into their lives. To become responsible, kids must be able to understand risks and foresee opportunities and be motivated and reasonable to choose and adopt behaviors that serve their interests as well as those of others. To become caring adults, kids and students must see beyond themselves and appreciate the concerns of others. The process of developing these skills is Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Precisely, SEL refers to the process through which kids as well as adults develop or acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes and use them to manage emotions successfully and effectively. SEL is important because it includes a behavioral framework of developing self- control and self-awareness, interpersonal skills that are fundamental for success at school, work, and life in general. |
