Social Emotional Learning Set

“Learning is social and emotional. Decades of research in human development, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, and educational practice and policy have illuminated that major domains of human development—social, emotional, cognitive, linguistic, academic—are deeply intertwined in the brain and in behavior. Moreover, all are central to learning and success.”  (www.aspeninstitute.org/, 2018) The Story Grammar Marker^® is a cognitive-linguistic-social-emotional-academic approach with the goal of giving children the ability to be successful in school and in life.

Narrative Development provides the structure needed for children to “tell their story,” self-regulate emotions, and achieve goals—paving the way for problem solving and conflict resolution—all aspects of social emotional development. “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.” (casel.org)
