What it is then, ultimately, though, is the idea that says that our emotional and our social life as human beings is a core aspect of being a human being.
And in certain ways, if we grow up in healthy environments with validating caregivers, then we can be in tuned with that natural hardwiring that allows us to be healthy emotional beings and healthy social beings.
But without that validation, without that support, without having all of our needs met, then a lot of negative things can happen regarding our internal emotional life and our ability to connect with people on a meaningful level socially.
So I think social emotional learning is just something that gives space to that nurturing of our emotional well-being, our emotional intelligence, our emotional skill set, and
And then that emotional skill set and experience then also translates into being able to connect with people more easily, more readily, more deeply on a social level.
I think, you know, the term social intelligence was made popular by Daniel Goleman, who then also went on to kind of write a different book, Social Intelligence.
And he kind of connects them as basically being social intelligence is sort of a different particular manifestation of our emotional intelligence.
And so these are very interrelated ideas.
And I think some of that research that kind of maybe happened around that time with Daniel Goleman and other people who've done the emotions research or sociology that's kind of like folded in with maybe psychology research has kind of become the research and science basis of validating social emotional learning as an idea.
as a teachable concept that has things that you can then translate into like a curriculum.
So that's kind of like the big picture of, you know, what is social emotional learning, but also why, like in a historical sort of why now context, why is it important?
Why is it irreplaceably important?
And why does it belong in education?
I think in a most idealistic sense, it can and ought to be integrated.
I think there's a different conversation about how our educational structure is built now, which is very subject-oriented and achievement-oriented.
which structurally actually makes it very hard to do anything that's particularly integrated, actually.
Anything, you know, it's hard to integrate math and history or writing and history or science together.
So I think our subject-oriented way of teaching is actually not particularly well set up for the kind of integrated learning.
So that being said, I do think the introduction of social emotional learning has been more like here's an additional subject.
But that I think is not necessarily because it's the best way or the only way to do that.
