On March 11th, 2022, we celebrated our third International Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Day. During this day, educators and communities world-wide pledge their dedication to the development of children’s social-emotional well-being and the skills they need to properly engage in collaborative civic engagement. This year’s theme for SEL Day was “Common Ground and Common Good”.
Here is a brief review of what Rutgers SECD Lab had prepared and created for the celebration and honor of SEL Day.
