A workshop was conducted for teachers on Socio-Emotional Ethical Learning (SEEL), highlighting the importance of integrating emotional, social, and ethical development into education to support holistic child growth.
The session emphasized that while these dimensions are often overlooked in traditional schooling, they are now essential for helping students manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible choices. Emotional intelligence (EQ) was presented as a crucial factor in achieving both personal and professional success.
The workshop addressed the increasing behavioral challenges among students, such as aggression and emotional instability. It introduced approaches like empathy-building, emotional regulation, and observational learning to support better outcomes. Educators were encouraged to foster a safe and supportive classroom environment by being attentive, fair, and emotionally present.
The session also identified gaps in modern parenting, underscoring the vital role schools play in providing value-based education. Self-care strategies and real-life examples added a practical dimension to the discussion, proving relevant for both students and educators.
The workshop offered valuable insights into the evolving role of educators and the importance of nurturing emotionally resilient and ethically grounded students. It served as a timely reminder that emotional well-being is foundational to effective learning.
