Adult SEL is the process of helping educators build their expertise and skills to lead social and emotional learning initiatives while cultivating the adults’ own social and emotional competencies. Rigorous research shows that SEL leads to greater academic achievement, better mental health, and career success. In order to cultivate students’ social and emotional skills, adults must feel socially and emotionally competent. Fly Five values and embeds the support for adults to be equipped with the strategies and tools needed to strengthen adult SEL.
