Podcast: Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

In the Foundations for Learning podcast series, we discuss the critical role of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in supporting children during their early educational journey. Jenni Coen, CSNSW State Manager for Wellbeing, explains how SEL helps children reach their potential by teaching them to identify and manage their emotions, set goals, and empathise with others. We explore practical ways to integrate SEL into learning, such as through storytelling. Emphasising that literacy extends beyond just reading and writing, the podcast delves into how these narratives can foster emotional and social growth in young learners.
