Is social-emotional learning (SEL) the latest fad in education or is it a crucial element of the success and well-being of students and educators? We’ve all seen the SEL methods Ted Lasso uses to inspire his soccer players on the hit TV show, but do they really contribute to long-term learning and success?

In this episode, host Dr. Liz Brooke speaks with Trisha DiFazio and Allison Roeser about the now-popular idea of SEL and how it fits into the educational environment. DiFazio and Roeser are the authors of "Social Emotional Learning Starts With Us," an essential resource that guides teachers through strategies to implement SEL into everyday instruction.

Dive into how the relationships, mindsets, and emotional regulation fueled by SEL contribute to the long-term success and empowerment of students, teachers, and administrators.

DiFazio, Roeser, and Dr. Brooke discuss how to use SEL to guide social media use, cultivate mindsets that lead to success, and encourage students to make the kind of mistakes that fuel growth. They also walk listeners through the neuroscientific research at the heart of social-emotional well-being.

Does social-emotional learning have staying power? Is it as important as people say? Listen in to find out.
