What is SEL?
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
At Kernersville Elementary School we embrace the SEL model because we know that a
socially and emotionally balanced student goes hand in hand with an academically successful student.

¿Qué es el SEL?
El aprendizaje social y emocional (SEL) es el proceso a través del cual los niños y adultos comprenden y manejan las emociones, establecen y alcanzan objetivos positivos, sienten y muestran empatía por los demás, establecen y mantienen relaciones positivas y toman decisiones responsables.
En la escuela Kernersville Elementary adoptamos el modelo SEL porque sabemos que un estudiante equilibrado social y emocionalmente va de la mano con un estudiante académicamente exitoso.
