Social-Emotional Learning
Generoso Consulting’s Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs help educators integrate social and emotional learning so students build empathy, self-awareness, and stronger peer relationships.
What Is SEL & Why It Matters
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which individuals develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, feel and show empathy, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
In classrooms grounded in SEL, students are better equipped to handle conflict, regulate behavior, and support one another. For educators, teaching SEL strengthens connection with students, improves classroom climate, and deepens relational trust.
