ARTS EDUCATION &
SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING

There is a growing body of research proving that social and emotional learning (SEL) is fundamental to academic success and students’ mental well being. Arts education is a strategy that must be used to create more resilient and engaged students and must be involved in all SEL planning sessions.

The arts give students the tools for these crucial SEL skills:

Set and achieve positive goals

Feel and show empathy for others

Establish and maintain positive relationships

Make responsible decisions

Understand and manage emotions
