3. Social Emotional Learning and Its Associations Between Happy Schools
“Teaching social and emotional skills is the cornerstone of education, fostering not just knowledge, but also empathy, resilience, and responsible citizenship.”
In the realm of education, a seamless integration of the Happy School Framework and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) creates a powerful synergy. The Happy School Framework prioritizes holistic well-being, emphasizing positive relationships and well-being programs. Concurrently, SEL fortifies this foundation, weaving essential skills like self-awareness and relationship-building. Together, these frameworks form a dynamic partnership, laying the groundwork that explores the transformative potential of blending happiness and emotional intelligence in the educational landscape. This module highlights the Conceptual Foundations of Social and Emotional Learning and its associations with Happy Schools.
