From selday.org:
The Urban Assembly and SEL4US invite communities across the globe to celebrate the importance of social-emotional learning (SEL) on the first annual International SEL Day on March 27, 2020.
We know that SEL changes lives.
Studies show that SEL provides many benefits to students—from improved social-emotional skills, well-being and behavior to improved academic outcomes—and these results are long-term and global, with proven positive impact up to 18 years later on academics, conduct problems, emotional distress, and drug use.
SEL competencies are also critically important for long-term success in today’s economy.
We know you get it, but many members of our communities don’t know about SEL yet.
