ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Jul 19, 2013) - Sibling Group Holdings, Inc. (
Among the most respected experts in SEL is the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotion Learing, ("CASEL"), whose work can be found at http://casel.org/why-it-matters/ , social and emotional learning involves the processes through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills in five competency areas:
1. Self-awareness: Recognizing one's emotions and thoughts and their influence on behavior. 2. Self-management: Regulating one's emotions, thoughts, and behaviors effectively in different situations. 3. Social awareness: Taking the perspective of and empathizing with others. 4. Relationship skills: Establishing and maintaining healthy and rewarding relationships with diverse individuals and groups. 5. Responsible decision making: Making constructive and respectful choices about personal behavior and social interactions.
These competencies can be taught and measured, and research shows that students with these skills do better in school and life (Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki, Taylor, & Schellinger, 2011; Goleman, 2005; Greenberg et al., 2003; Institute of Medicine, 2009; National Research Council, 2012).
Educators now report with more frequency that attention must be given to the whole child and his social, emotional and behavioral well-being. Studies of high-quality SEL programs have identified the positive impact they have on a student's academic success and personal growth. In addition to promoting deep social relationships, results for socially adept students include improved school attendance as well as improved academic performance.
While SEL programs vary in their delivery system, all are designed to teach students to handle emotions appropriately, avoid negative behaviors (i.e. bullying), make positive decisions and improve social skills. To further this objective, Sibling intends to develop online programs to teach SEL skillsets to teachers with a secondary goal of developing an approved certification program to enhance employment opportunities for teachers with SEL credentials. Sibling's focus on social and emotional learning is just one more advance to complete educational growth in the 21st century.
