The New Smart

Traditional approaches to education stressed one kind of smart: book smart. Research now supports that when paired together, emotions and intellect are the new smart.

Social emotional learning teaches children how to manage their emotions, set and achieve goals, overcome obstacles, and develop healthy relationships – skills necessary to succeed in school, be prepared for the workforce, and become positive and healthy contributors to society.
