Social Emotional Learning (SEL) focuses on the development of crucial social and emotional skills in both students and adults. Self-awareness, the ability to be introspective and comprehend our patterns, habits, biases, and conditioning, stands as the cornerstone of this process.
A growing body of research underscores the truth that successful implementation of SEL starts with the adults in the educational system.

We can not claim to be educators truly committed to DEIB and racial justice without looking deeply at our own biases and capacity for empathy and compassion.
Data indicates adult capacity for SEL is a mitigating factor of teacher burnout syndrome and educator emotional exhaustion.
