Social Emotional Learning
In 2003, Illinois passed the Children’s
Mental Health Act, requiring the
development and implementation of
learning standards for social emotional
learning.
Goal 1: Develop self-awareness and self-management skills to
achieve school and life success.
Goal 2: Use social-awareness and interpersonal skills to
establish and maintain positive relationships.
Goal 3: Demonstrate decision-making skills and responsible
behaviors in personal, school, and community contexts.
2Social Emotional Learning
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and
adults acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to:
● recognize and manage their emotions;
● demonstrate caring and concern for others;
● establish positive relationships;
● make responsible decisions; and
● handle challenging situations constructively
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is embedded into the classroom so that
students can learn, practice, and apply SEL skills in their daily lives. When
SEL skills are taught and reinforced in a safe, caring, and inclusive climate
for learning, students’ experience improved mental wellness, increased
school connectedness, positive behavior, and improved academic outcomes.
3What are the Benefits of SEL?
● Increases development of social skills
● Improved attitudes about self, others, and school
● Positive behavior in the classroom
● 11 percentile point gain on academic achievement
● Reduces risk for failure
● Reduces conduct problems
● Reduces aggressive behavior
● Reduces experiences of emotional distress

4SEL & Mental Health
Social emotional learning supports overall mental health
and wellness.
• SEL focuses on direct teaching of skills, competencies, and
strategies that are essential protective factors important for mental
health and wellness.
• SEL strengthens coordination of school-based, community, and
medical supports for mental health concerns and crisis, and creates
opportunities for families to collaborate with community
partners
• SEL, as a part of the climate for learning framework, creates a safe
and supportive environment, and reduces stigma associated with
mental health.
