Benefits of Emotional Learning (EL)
-
Improves school and class climate.
Kids and young adults need to feel safe, respected, and supported in order to do their best. Incorporating EL into your classroom encourages all of those things and more, helping to create a more positive learning community for all.
-
Teaches problem-solving skills.
Learners need strong problem-solving skills in all areas of life. A huge benefit to social emotional learning is that much of it focuses on managing situations and problems in everyday life. If you get stuck on a math problem, what can you do? If you get in a fight with a friend, how might you handle it? If someone asks you to do something you don’t want to do, what could you say? All of these questions are discussions that might be taking place when EL is integrated into the classroom.
-
Reduces behavior problems.
So often, behavior problems are the result of skill deficits. In the words of Ross Greene, kids do well when they can. Once we teach skills for problem-solving, working with others, and managing emotions, we are likely to see student behavior improve.
-
Gives a space to talk about mental health.
Mental health is extremely important and often not talked about enough. Talking about social emotional learning gives kids and young adults the venue to talk about their feelings, thoughts, and needs. It should be healthy to talk about mental health.
-
Improves self-regulation skills.
Being able to managing our own thoughts, feelings, words, and actions is paramount to social and personal success. EL can help learners understand self-regulation so they can learn to manage their own behaviors in positive ways.
-
Increases personal self-awareness.
It is important for learners to have a strong understanding of their own individual strengths and challenges. Self-awareness is having a clear and accurate view of oneself. When students understand themselves, they are better equipped to have a clear vision for the future and make better choices to reach those dreams.
