What is S.E.L.?

S.E.L. means Social and Emotional Learning
JHASHEART's - SEL Scholar Feedback. This is Social and Emotional Learning @ JHASHEART

At JHASHEART, “Social and Emotional Learning is the measured process through which a human-being develops and effectively applies the chosen attitude, behavior, knowledge, and skills necessary to (1) think positive, (2) understand and regulate emotions, (3) declare and achieve goals, (4) empathize and respect others, (5) seek and engage in positive relationships, and (6) consistently make constructive and responsible decisions.”

SEL is life’s ultimate ingredient to develop the Human Quotient [HQ]; it develops the EQ, SQ, AQ, AQ, and IQ. SEL is for every human, fills every environment, and is boundless in its benefits. (cited 2022, TEDxAccra Conference, by speaker Jabari Hall)

SEL at JHASHEART starts within, and extends to every human

We place a huge focus on self. Using our homegrown and proven framework, we emphasize self-awareness, self-belief, self-care, self-confidence, self-dignity, self-discipline, self-esteem, self-identity, self-love, self-happiness, self-motivation, and self-respect. And when the humans we educate truly embrace the purpose behind the emphasis, we then know that the encompassing competencies of SEL can be fully developed.

SEL consists of five competencies – Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision Making. At JHASHEART, we invoke one’s inner capability to develop and master each competency; that involves its own process of extracting from each of the competencies. It is a huge reason ‘Why We SEL’.

JHASHEART's - BIG Wheel of Benefits To SEL. This is Social and Emotional Learning @ JHASHEART

Researchers with the Collaborative for Academic Social and Emotional Learning [CASEL] confirm that SEL is essential to the school and life success of all children. Why? Our emotions and relationships affect how and what we learn. Emotions can enable us to generate an active interest and sustain our engagement in learning. On the other hand, unmanaged stress and poor regulation of impulses interfere with attention and memory and contribute to behaviors disruptive to learning. Studies confirm SEL benefits include reductions in child aggression, substance abuse, delinquency, violence; and levels of depression and anxiety. Simultaneously benefits lead to increased grades, better attendance, and improved performance in core academic subjects.

At JHASHEART, our experts emphasize that emotional balance and elevated levels of energy maximize all the benefits that come with SEL. And in-turn, we see our Scholars find the self-motivation they need to achieve measurable success.
