Social and Emotional Learning

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which we acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve goals. SEL establishes vital skills, such as feeling and showing empathy for others, establishing and maintaining supportive relationships, and making responsible and caring decisions. Students in SEL programs are more likely to attend school and receive better grades and are less likely to have conduct problems. Successful infusion of SEL can result in positive behaviors, increased academic success, and caring communities.

Based on a model by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), New Jersey has identified the following five social and emotional competencies that AOE will is supporting:

1 Self-awareness: The ability to understand one’s own emotions, thoughts, and values and how they influence behavior across contexts.

2 Self-management: The ability to manage one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors effectively in different situations and achieve goals and aspirations.

3 Social awareness: The ability to understand the perspectives of and empathize with others, including those from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and contexts.

4 Relationship skills: The ability to establish and maintain healthy and supportive relationships and effectively navigate settings with diverse individuals and groups.

5 Responsible decision-making: The ability to make caring and constructive choices about personal behavior and social interactions across diverse situations.
