Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is as wide-reaching as any subject matter that we can be incorporating into our students' education and development.  

The way to experience most success at our efforts to nurture kids' SEL is to give careful attention to maintaining a healthy balance between the 2 root definitions of "EDUCATION."    Teachers need courage and creativity to go beyond the norm to facilitate the active engagement of children's innate wisdom, intelligence, problem-solving skills, built-in ability to empathize, and natural ability to creatively break boundaries, and so much more.  We really owe it to them to be that kind of courageous educator.
