Abstract

There is increasing consensus that schools have an important role to play in raising healthy children through teaching and learning of social and emotional skills. The purpose of this chapter is to provide insight for preservice teachers on social emotional learning (SEL): the definition of SEL, research on SEL, effective SEL programs, suggested strategies new teachers can include in their classrooms, and implications for schools of education and professional development. The authors conclude the chapter by discussing five key factors in the development and implementation of SEL initiatives in the setting.
