Abstract | A growing number of advocacy groups, educators, and families are concerned that something important is missing from modern public education. They recognize the necessity of students making progress in their math and reading abilities, but they fear that a narrow focus on those subjects has caused schools to neglect other essential aspects of education. In particular, they believe schools can and should play a central role in helping students develop their attitudes and relationships with others and shape their behavior accordingly. This set of skills, beliefs, and behaviors is known as social and emotional learning (SEL). It includes things such as impulse control, self-efficacy, empathy, teamwork, and problem-solving. Social and emotional learning (SEL) might be a new term, but at its core it represents the educational priorities of character education. For many Americans, SEL's roots are deeply enmeshed in moral and religious precepts, and the author asserts that those promoting these as secular skills would do well to recognize and respect that fact. The author suggests that proponents should resist the temptation to centrally manage SEL. Instead, they should embrace the opportunity for local and voluntary communities to align SEL instruction with their moral preferences. (ERIC). |
