- Title
Social-Emotional Learning in the Science Classroom.

- Abstract
This article from Science Scope emphasizes the importance of social-emotional learning (SEL) in the middle school science classroom. SEL is defined as the development of social and emotional skills necessary for life, such as self-management, empathy, and responsible decision-making. Research shows that SEL is linked to positive well-being, mental wellness, healthy behaviors, improved grades, and homework completion. Middle school teachers play a crucial role in helping students navigate adolescence and develop these soft skills through activities like collaborative work, reflective writing, promoting kindness, and student check-ins. The article suggests exploring the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) for more information on SEL initiatives.
