SEL: What and Why in 15 Minutes
Listen to this short audio interview conducted by Daniel
Goleman, and produced by Hanuman Goleman, for an introduction to
social and emotional learning. In addition to a very brief history
of SEL promotion in schools, this audio defines SEL and the core
SEL skills, summarizes some of the documented benefits of SEL including
those on academic performance, and gives examples of activities
schools are using to promote SEL. Most importantly, this piece includes
interviews with teachers, faculty, and students so you can hear
firsthand how these individuals have used SEL in their lives and
how SEL has improved their school communities.
