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
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)
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!
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.
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.

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
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.
