🚀 The Academic Accelerant: How SEL Directly Drives Measurable Student Achievement 🎯

Is Social Emotional Learning (SEL) just a "nice-to-have"? Absolutely not! In this data-driven episode of Your Morning Boost, we dive into new evidence confirming SEL is a must-have academic strategy that yields significant, measurable gains. We discuss key takeaways from EdSurge, which show a strong positive correlation between effective SEL integration and improved test scores, better attendance, and reduced disciplinary incidents. SEL is not a sidebar—it's the accelerant for all learning.

Key Actionable Takeaways:

• Staff First: Implement SEL check-ins and emotional regulation techniques right into your faculty meetings to model the competencies.

• Deep Integration: Treat SEL as an essential lens through which all content is taught (e.g., conflict resolution through historical debates).

• Data-Driven Accountability: Move SEL from abstract feeling to concrete evaluation using tools that track self-reporting, referrals, and collaborative problem-solving.
