4. What is Social
Emo5onal Learning
SEL

5. Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the
process through which children and adults
acquire and effectively apply the knowledge,
attitudes, and skills necessary to understand
and manage emotions, set and achieve
positive goals, feel and show empathy for
others, establish and maintain positive
relationships, and make responsible decisions.
~CASEL

7. Why SEL is the Key Metric:
90% of K-12 superintendents say students'
engagement with school, hope for the future and
graduaCon rates are very important measures of
school effecCveness. Just one in 10 say
standardized test scores are very important; 52%
say they are somewhat important.

Forbes: October 2018
Louisville Business Journal: October 2018
A growing body of research, however, suggests that academic
preparaCon is only one piece of the puzzle. This research shows
that teaching students to manage their emoCons, resolve conflicts,
and make responsible decisions can be equally important.
