SEL Virtual Orientation
An Integrated Approach to Implementing SEL —A Virtual Orientation Session for District & School Leaders
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.
SEL serves as a Lever for Equity by helping to create caring, just and healthy communities that support all students in reaching their fullest potential.
