Social and Emotional Learning Community

The social and emotional learning (SEL) community is the group of people or stakeholders in

charge of developing and implementing frameworks for successfully teaching students using

SEL. Social and emotional learning involves applying the information, behaviors, and skills

required to understand concepts. It enables them to control their emotions, set and achieve

positive goals, feel and show empathy towards others, and develop and sustain positive

relationships with everyone(Denham 3). Therefore, since social and emotional learning heavily
relies on the environment, a community of people must be created to facilitate learning through

social and emotional learning. A Social and Emotional Learning community generally comprises

policymakers, assessment tool developers, and program development leaders. Policymakers are

mainly in charge of developing standards, guidance, and frameworks for the successful

implementation of social and emotional learning in schools and ensuring that resources are

invested and distributed equitably amongst all schools so that all children can directly benefit

from equitable education through SEL (Denham 6). Secondly, assessment tool developers are

generally in charge of creating assessment tools with different developmental tasks for different

age groups that participate in social and emotional learning and address all other issues that arise

from assessment tasks. Lastly, program development leaders evaluate existing programs and

assessment tasks to ascertain whether they should be reviewed and propose new methods for

assessing students learning abilities. Overall, the social and emotional learning community helps

schools and parents provide the best learning conditions to help children learn.
