SEL is the process through which children and adults acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills associated with the core areas of social and emotional (SE) competency. For Villanova, SEL is a process for helping students gain critical skills for life effectiveness, such as developing positive relationships, behaving ethically, and handling challenging situations effectively (Zins et al., 2007).

Tass' Recommendation

goneill — 2015-08-15 09:12:28 UTC

“An ongoing (developmental?) process whereby one, firstly, learns to become more aware (insightful?) of their feelings (and the cognitions underlying these feelings) and of their social functioning and secondly, develops, via programmed activities and behavioural rehearsal, a set of competencies (or skills) that enables one to manage their emotions/feelings and consequently their behaviour in an effective manner and to establish and maintain positive relationships with others.”
