FuelEd’s Guide to Social Emotional Learning (SEL)
“Social Emotional Learning” or SEL is now an integral part of many district and school initiatives to increase student wellbeing and academic performance. Whether you’re a teacher trying to figure out how to implement it in your classroom, a school leader working to improve school climate, or a district leader looking into how you can reduce student discipline—like many educators you are focusing on SEL. But what is the key to successful SEL?
What is Trauma-Informed Teaching?
Trauma-informed teaching creates safe, supportive classrooms that counter the effects of childhood adversity and toxic stress, helping students thrive emotionally and academically. By fostering empathy, predictable routines, and inclusive practices, educators promote resilience and secure connections, benefiting all students while rewiring stress responses. Training programs like the Whole Educator Collective empower teachers with tools to build self-awareness, improve communication, and model healthy coping strategies for a stronger, more connected classroom.
