How does developing Social Emotional Learning skills improve academic performance? What is the connection?
What is the future of SEL learning? How will SEL evolve over time?
And why is it important to do the work ourselves as parents and educators before teaching it to our children?
We had the pleasure to explore the answers to these questions with Dr. Ed Dunkleblau.
Ed Dunkelblau, PhD. is the director of the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning , he is also an internationally known speaker and consultant on the topics of social-emotional learning and character development, safe schools programming, and humor in education.
He holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree in counseling psychology from the University of Kansas, a Master of Arts degree in psychology, and Master of Education degree in vocational and rehabilitation counseling from Columbia University. He has received numerous awards and his work has been featured in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Reader’s Digest, CNN and many others.
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the educational process that leads to the development of emotional intelligence - that is, the process by which we become better at understanding and managing our emotions AND learning how they impact the choices we make, the relationships we have and our outlook in life.
It refers to the acquisition of the understandings and specific skills that are at the heart of a child's academic, personal, social and civic development. Social and emotional learning is critical not only for success in school, but also in life. SEL enables individuals to recognize and manage emotions, understand their personal values, develop caring and concern for others, make responsible decisions, establish and maintain positive relationships and handle challenging situations effectively.
Research has shown that people with social and emotional competence are most likely to succeed academically, have a sense of well-being in their personal lives and act as contributors to their communities. (Source: Columbia University, Project EXSEL)
