Learn More About UsWhat is Social and Emotional Learning ?
The purpose of social-emotional learning is to develop a child’s emotional literacy (EQ) and teach them the skills needed to manage the complexities, demands and pressures of everyday life by developing confidence, resilience and the ability to self-manage, make good choices and build healthy relationships. Research has shown that social-emotional learning contributes significantly to overall health and happiness as well as academic progress.
The COOL TO BE ME Approach
Multiple Approaches Across Multiple Settings
“The educational goals of Social Emotional Learning are more likely to be achieved when evidence-based approaches are used to reach students in all settings where they spend their time — in classrooms, throughout the school, in the home, and in the community.” (CASEL)
COOL TO BE ME strives to integrate Social Emotional Learning into all aspects of a child’s life at school and at home through easy-to-understand-and-apply training courses and curriculum resources.
In order to enjoy the full range of benefits that SEL can yield, educators, learners and parents must engage fully in evidence-based SEL practices and principles. COOL TO BE ME facilitates this process through:
- An evidence-based, experiential Social Emotional Learning curriculum for learners from Grades 1 to 7 (6 to 13 years old); implemented at school.
- Family chats and games that extend classroom learning to the family at home.
- A SACE accredited Educators Social Emotional Learning CPTD course (continued professional training and development course) for educators, coaches, or child practitioners.
CTBM @ SCHOOL
Research shows that Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is a highly effective approach that promotes personal development and well- being and enhances classroom climate and academic competencies.
An Educator’s Perspective
“It has been such a blessing to teach Social and Emotional Learning in schools, through my netball clubs, and with my environmental education teams. It has truly been a life-changing experience for me. SEL has helped the learners and young people I work with become more self-aware, express themselves with confidence, and understand their emotions better. I have seen them develop self-management skills, improve their communication, stay calm, concentrate, and remain focused without being easily distracted. They have also learned to set goals for themselves and work hard to achieve them.”
