Social emotional learning (SEL) influences student behavior by fostering self-awareness, self-regulation, and social skills. Through SEL, students learn to manage their emotions, set positive goals, and establish supportive relationships. This process results in improved academic performance and reduces behavioral issues in school. When students develop strong emotional competencies, they gain the ability to navigate social complexities better, enhance cooperation with peers, and respond to challenges constructively. Consequently, SEL initiatives promote a positive school climate that benefits both students and educators.
