Adult SEL Competence & Learning
• Adults who have the ability to recognize, understand, label,
express, and regulate emotions are more likely to
demonstrate patience and empathy, encourage healthy
communication, and create safe learning environments.
(Brackett, Katella, Kremenitzer, Alster, and Caruso, 2008)

• Teachers skilled at regulating their emotions report less


burnout and more positive affect while teaching. (Brackett, Mojsa,
Palomera, Reyes, & Salovey, 2008)

• School leaders with strong SEL competencies build and


maintain positive and trusting relationships among
members of the school community. (Patti and Tobin, 2006) 11
