Social-Emotional Learning and Art Education
Welcome to the Social Emotional-Learning and Arts Education Project! This page was created to provide educators and guardians access to SEL resources that can be incorporated in not only Art Education but everyday life as well!
What is the Social-Emotional Learning in Arts Education?
Social-Emotional Learning in Art Education works to help incorporate SEL techniques into the arts to better provide implicit and explicit social emotional learning skills and enhance intentional application of teaching and learning strategies in the arts. Arts Education and Social and Emotional Learning Frameworks were created by a group of experts and led by Dr. Maurice Elias (SEL4NJ) and previously lead by Bob Morrison (Arts Ed NJ).
The goal of the project is to help schools incorporate social emotional learning skills into Arts classrooms, as well as provide various resources, such as class frameworks that target all 5 core competencies!
