Social-Emotional Learning: What is it? What is its significance?

Social-emotional learning is a comprehensive approach that is intended to foster healthy and positive emotions, as well as social and emotional competence that leads to personal and professional success. It includes the skills necessary to manage emotions and achieve emotional regulation and resilience, as well as those related to social, emotional, self-regulation, and self-control.
