Here’s why SEL should be a top priority in schools

SEL holds an important place in classrooms, for students and teachers alike--here's how to make it part of your school community


Covid brought with it countless challenges–but one thing it emphasized? The need for social-emotional learning (SEL) in each and every classroom.

Students can’t learn unless they feel safe and secure. It is this state of well-being that greatly contributes to their academic achievement, personal growth, and health. SEL quickly skyrocketed from a “nice to have” classroom feature to something that districts prioritized and quickly moved to incorporate as classroom must-haves.

So, what are the most important aspects of an SEL program? How can your school and district support the whole child in person and online? What resources will support learning recovery, equity, and student engagement?

Join this eSchool News webinar, sponsored by Stride Learning Solutions, to discover just how important SEL is to your school community.
