Time Constraints – With a packed curriculum focused on career pathways and required standards, it can be difficult to find time for dedicated SEL activities or discussions.

1. Group Projects in Class – Working in teams helps students learn to cooperate, manage conflict, and show empathy toward others’ ideas and perspectives.
2. Career and Technical Education (CTE) Classes – Many CTE classes include teamwork, communication, and professional behavior, which are key SEL skills.
3. Extracurricular Activities and Sports – Teams and clubs teach students how to work together, manage emotions under pressure, and develop leadership and cooperation.

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is how people learn to understand and manage their emotions, build positive relationships, show empathy, make good choices, and work toward personal and group goals.  SEL is how students and adults learn to understand and manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, show care for others, set goals, and make good, responsible decisions.
