OPINION: 'Our children’s need for social and emotional support won’t go away just because we ignore it,' writes Star contributor Heather Mace.
It’s difficult to utter the phrase “Social Emotional Learning” these days without eliciting a strong reaction. This term, otherwise known as SEL, describes lessons and activities that address children’s emotional needs and character development. However, SEL has faced growing criticism in recent years, leaving many parents and community members distrustful and confused about SEL’s purpose.
A recent survey of 2,000 parents shows that there is broad support for focusing on these practices in schools. Over 90% of respondents endorse teaching children to set goals and believe in themselves, and over 80% said schools should help children understand their emotions and empathize with others. Next, they can examine data on how SEL benefits children both mentally and academically. The CDC found that “students who felt close to persons at school had a significantly lower prevalence of poor mental health during the pandemic” and reduced their chance of having seriously considered suicide from 25.6% to 14%. One study also reports that students who participated in long-term SEL programs showed an 11% gain in academic achievement.
