To answer the first question in the blog title.......SEL=
Social &
Emotional
Learning. Why do you ask is
this topic included in a blog that focuses on academic achievement for struggling learners or other students in classrooms? I asked that question too until I read this article and watched the powerful video - a speech by Trish Schaeffer at TEDxUniversity of Nevada. Research has shown that children who have been
taught social and emotional skills have increased their standardized test scores by 11%ile points. It pays attention then, I believe, for us to learn more. SEL is grouped into 5 competencies:
- Self-awareness,
- Self-management,
- Social awareness,
- Relationship skills,
- Responsible decision making.
These five skills then become the foundation for the 4Cs of 21st Century learning....
- Critical Thinking
- Collaboration
- Communication
- Creativity
