For Educators

Social and emotional learning success depends on efforts of the entire school community — administrators, teachers, counselors, specialists and support staff, and administrators. Here are a few of our favorite resources for educators.

"Teaching children social emotional skills is important because it helps students learn how to understand and become aware of their own thoughts and emotions as well as how to feel and show empathy towards others. By developing these skills, students maintain positive relationships with others and make responsible decisions which will benefit them both in and outside the classroom." – Leigh Eubanks, President Palmetto State School Counselor Association

“Social emotional learning is a vital component in the education of all students and is especially important for those who have disabilities or may have difficulties in social settings. Using a whole-child approach to students’ learning creates a strong foundation which will help students to engage more fully in learning, help them reflect on how their actions impact themselves and others around them, and adapt to new challenges and situations. Providing social-emotional learning opportunities benefits all students, and therefore, our families and communities as a whole.” -Amy Holbert, Executive Director Family Connection of S.C.
