The Importance of Social Emotional Learning and Counselors in School
School counseling is an important part of learning in schools today. It promotes Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and that is vital to a student’s life. In the schools, the bigwigs feel that SEL is secondary to other learning processes that go on in K-12. The school counselor is one of the first programs to get cut in schools today. These counselors play an important role in these kids’ lives and really have to stress SEL to these children. SEL can improve the classroom quality of a student, help those with aggressive tendencies, as well as be effective in the long run of life for that student. SEL is an important part of schools today. In order to teach that to children we need to have school counselors who can advise this and stress its importance in life skills.
