Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process of developing the self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills needed in order to set goals, build relationships, and be successful in school, work, home, and community.

People with strong social-emotional skills are better prepared to manage and overcome everyday challenges to benefit academically, professionally, and socially. Schools can implement structures that support the social-emotional development of students and help them learn how to build and maintain positive relationships, manage strong emotions, and express empathy for others.

As a part of the Statewide System of Support, State Support Teams work closely with the Ohio Department of Education to provide training, resources, and technical assistance to schools and districts as they strive to ensure that each child has access to a high-quality education. The documents, policies, and laws shared here provide the foundation to this work.
