Why Social-Emotional Learning is Key to a Smooth-Running Classroom

Want to know why social-emotional learning (SEL) is the foundation for a well-functioning classroom?

In this episode of The Balanced Educator Podcast, we dive into the psychology and biology behind SEL and explain why it's essential for student success.

We explore Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and how it relates to learning, along with the biology of stress and its negative impact on learning from a physiological perspective.

Plus, we share how a daily mindfulness practice can help meet your students' basic needs, reducing stress and preparing them for academic success.
