Four Questions About Social and Emotional Learning

In this toolkit, ACT researchers provide language, exercises, and research to help guide social and emotional learning (SEL) conversations by answering the most frequently asked questions around the perceived value and importance of social and emotional (SE) skills.  

1. Do students and their families think social and emotional skills are important for success in school?   
2. How does social and emotional learning relate to college and career readiness?   
3. Can social and emotional skills be taught in school?   
4. Do social and emotional learning programs make students less unique?
