Educators: Teaching social-emotional learning (SEL) skills makes a difference! Research shows that social-emotional learning has huge benefits for students and school communities, including improved academic performance, better classroom behavior, and lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Heinemann provides resources and professional development to help you get started or continue integrating social-emotional skills into your school community. Use the Are Our Teacher-Student Relationships Strong Enough? document to self-assess your relationship with your students and learn more about how students’ behaviors affect us, both in how we feel and how we respond.
