‘Social and emotional learning is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships and make responsible decisions.... SEL is not a single program or teaching method. It involves coordinated strategies across classroom, schools, homes, communities and districts.’ (Casel, 2018) The Collaborative for Academic Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) has identified five interrelated sets of cognitive, affective and behavioural competencies: self-awareness, self -management, social awareness, relationship skills, responsible decision making.
