An Introduction to Social and Emotional Learning (SEL): Navigating Definitions, Frameworks, and Best Practices

This webinar examined what social and emotional learning is, how it can be used to inform best practice in schools, and its potential impact on academic outcomes, including college and career readiness. The webinar provided participants with a deeper understanding of the role that social and emotional competencies (SECs) and other "non-cognitive" skills play in student outcomes. In addition, participants were able to learn about ways in which educators can promote SEL across various levels of the school system and gain insight into future directions for SEL research and practice.
