The fifth-annual International Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Day is March 3, 2025.
SEL Day and SEL Week, which runs March 3-7, offer a chance to collectively spread the word about the importance and impact of social-emotional learning right here in Kentucky.
SEL is an integral part of education and human development. It is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.
SEL advances educational excellence through authentic school-family-community partnerships to establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships, rigorous and meaningful curriculum and instruction, and ongoing evaluation. SEL can help empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools and contribute to safe, healthy and just communities.
On SEL Day, schools can showcase SEL activities on social media by using the #SELDay and #SEL hashtags and tag the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to reshare your posts.
KDE also offers many resources for SEL on the Social, Emotional and Behavioral Learning/Health webpage.
