Social- Emotional Well Being

SEWB

"Broadly, social and emotional wellbeing refers to the way a person thinks and feels about themselves and others." (Social and Emotional Wellbeing Development of a Children’s Headline Indicator Information Paper, n.d.)

It is important children learn how to express emotions. How a child feels determines if they will be able to relate to other children as children build relationships during their youth.(Emotional Well-Being, n.d.)

How is SEWB

Important?

Importance

To know and understand emotions and face them head on can positively influence their attention span and cognitive flexibility, which can also lead to better academic performance.(Emotional Well-Being, n.d.)

Social Emotional Learning

SEL

Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process of developing the self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success. (Daniel, 2021)

People with strong social-emotional skills are better able to cope with everyday challenges and benefit academically, professionally, and socially.

Social-emotional learning has a role to play within the context of pushes for inclusive learning and accessible education. As schools embrace people from different backgrounds, who face diverse challenges, students need to understand this and develop empathy and compassion.

(Daniel, 2021)

How is SEL important?

SEL helps build the foundation for academic suces

Importance

"It is a vital part of human development, equipping students with the skills, abilities, tools, and knowledge to build positive relationships, solve problems, make intelligent decisions, and achieve the necessary level of self-awareness"

(Daniel, 2021)

"Social-emotional learning is vital for students because it teaches them crucial life skills, including the ability to understand themselves, develop a positive self-image, take responsibility for their actions, and forge relationships with the people around them. It can also be critical for students to build confidence and self-esteem."

(Daniel, 2021)

SEL in schools

Stratagies

Stratagies to adress & implement in schools

Universal approaches - A curriculum that integrates the development of social and emotional skills within all subject areas • Training to ensure teachers and practitioners have the knowledge and skills to deliver this • Support for parents and carers • Integrated activities outside the curriculum to prevent bullying and violence

Targeted approaches -Ensure teachers and practitioners are trained to assess the early signs of anxiety, emotional distress and behavioral problems.Identify and assess children who are showing early signs of these problems.Involve a specialist when appropriate.

Stratagies used to address

SEWB & SEL

Addressing

Targeted approaches -Discuss the options with the child, their parents or carers • Provide a range of interventions according to the child’s needs, as part of a multi-agency approach • Ensure parents and carers living in disadvantaged circumstances can participate in parenting sessions

(KeelyKia, 2011)

Implementation

One of the main ways to implement these is through lessons that clearly focus on social emtional welness and learning. Then allowing them to put it to work!

Ways SEWB and SEL can be implemented in the classroom

As a teacher I can encourage SEWB and SEL in lessons and daily classroom activities by utalizing small group and wjhole groupo work to teach about collaboration with others, using writer's workshop to write about feeling and other SEL skills, track progress to show growth to students.

Implement

As a teacher I can and should help my students gain confidence, highlight SEL skills throughout daily, model positive self talk, use books to teach empathy, teach about diversity and acceptance of differences.

Benefits of SEWB & SEL to Society

How SEL can prepare children and transform schools, there is data to support the importance of embedding social and emotional development in schools. The report cites a 2011 meta-analysis that found that students who receive high-quality SEL instruction have achievement scores on average of 11 percentile points higher than students who did not receive SEL instruction.

However, the benefits of SEL do not end at graduation. A recent study from The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) looked at five primary social and emotional skills—open-mindedness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, extraversion and agreeableness—to determine which are the strongest indicators of success. The study revealed a lack of SEL regularly correlated with unfavorable outcomes such as an increased chance of unemployment, divorce, poor health, criminal behavior and imprisonment.

(Giancarlo Brotto, 2018)

Research

Benefits to Society

When it comes to translating those skills beyond the classroom, the OECD explains that subjective well-being can be defined as having a positive mental state; when reviewing the impact of SEL on adolescents, the results—which mirror findings from adult samples—indicate more ties between SEL skills and life satisfaction than between cognitive skills and life satisfaction by nearly 10 percent. Emotional stability appears to be the most relevant of the top SEL skills that correlate to life satisfaction, with consciousness and extraversion showing relevance in job and life satisfaction.

Personal Stance on SEWB & SEL

Title

Social Emotional Wellbeing and Social Emotional Learning are critical skills that must be taught to adolescents all the way through adulthood. It is a skill we will use every day of our lives. Before children are old enough to go to school it should be a parent's priority to begin the process of learning social emotional skills and regulation. Too often students begin their educational career not well equipped with much regulation of their emotions and must be taught these critical skills much more so and in turn (primary schools especially) teacher spend more time teaching these life sustaining skills before ever being able to tackle academics

By teaching SEWB and SEL we are helping build foundations while developing

A sense of self.

Building relationships with other people.

Solving problems.

Overcoming obstacles.

Developing empathy.

Gaining a sense of social justice and learning to manage emotions.
