Schools nationwide and globally are now implementing SEL as part of their curricula, and global companies and their heads are paying more attention to these soft skills which impact productivity, engagement, and talent management.
In fact, in the largest and most recent survey of Measuring School Performance (Education Week Research Center 2017), teachers reported the most interest in teaching and measuring Social Emotional Learning when compared to other areas measured for ESSA (Every Students Succeeds Act) accountability purposes. Another important known fact is that SEL not only improves achievement by an average of 11 percentile points, but is also increases social behaviors such as kindness, sharing, and empathy, while reducing depression.
