Abstract

Career development Study skills Social learning--Study and teaching (Secondary) Social skills in children--Study and teaching
Teachers play a critical role in the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) of their students (Benkos, 2016; Brotto, 2018; CASEL, 2019). The development of social and emotional competence (SEC) in children is one of the essential components in their healthy development and contributes to improved empathy, increased pro-social behavior, improved academic performance, and fewer behavioral issues (Kusumaningrum, 2019; McCabe & Altamura, 2011; Pakaslahti, Karjalainen, & Keltikangas-Jarvinen, 2002). In order to incorporate SEL strategies into their teaching practices, teachers need training and support. However, teachers are not adequately prepared through pre-service or trained in-service to integrate SEL into their teaching (Civic Enterprises, Bridgeland, Bruce, & Hariharan, 2013).
