SEL Master Class with Jorge Valenzuela

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an approach to cultivating the positive management of emotions, relationships, goals, and decisions so that people—especially children and young adults—can achieve success in school and in life. In education, SEL advances equity and strives to establish collaborative learning environments in which students and educators co-create thriving schools. This course introduces the five- step SEL Integration Framework, designed to help educators successfully implement SEL with their students.
