]]> Social Emotional Learning: Soft Skills for School and Life

Soft skills are a combination of social skills, work habits, communication skills, character traits, and attitudes that enable people (and students in particular) to work well with others and manage the demands of learning and working. It is difficult to acquire the “hard skills” (e.g., learning to read, write, solve equations, understand basic principles of physics, etc.) if a student hasn’t developed the soft skills to enable the process of learning new things.

Teachers who were rated as more sensitive to student needs and had a more emotionally supportive and responsive relationship with their students, had a positive influence on the level of student aggression and the level of behavioral self-control.

They are motivated to feel capable, competent, and knowledgeable. They want to be proud of what they know and what they can learn. Unfortunately, that is not the description of most students. Most students come to school with a range of unmet needs, more basic needs than the need to feel capable, competent, and knowledgeable.
