Outlines
📘 The Importance of Emotional and Social Skills in Education
In 1994, the author advocated for integrating emotional and social skills into education, inspired by the observation that successful programs addressing student issues like violence, drug abuse, depression, and dropouts shared common elements: self-awareness, self-management, empathy, and social skills. These core competencies enable students to make sound decisions. To promote this approach, the author, along with Linda LAN Thierry, co-founded the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), which has grown into a global movement known as social-emotional learning (SEL).
🌍 The Global Impact and Research Support for SEL
Research supports SEL's effectiveness. Studies involving hundreds of thousands of students have shown that SEL reduces antisocial behavior by 10%, fosters a positive attitude toward school by 10%, and improves academic performance by 11%. These statistics reflect SEL's wide-reaching influence on both behavior and education, further validating its significance in modern schooling.
📚 SEL and the Dalai Lama's Vision for Compassionate Education
While writing 'A Force for Good' for the Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday, the author recognized SEL’s alignment with the Dalai Lama’s mission of providing an 'education of the heart.' SEL emphasizes cultivating emotional intelligence, compassion, and ethical thinking, which are key to the Dalai Lama's vision for 21st-century education.
🧘 Enhancing SEL with Attention, Compassion, and Ethical Learning
The author describes how SEL can be enhanced by including crucial missing components: attention training, care, compassion, systems thinking, and the development of an ethical outlook. These skills, detailed in the author's collaboration with MIT's Peter Senge in 'The Triple Focus,' provide the foundation for Emory University’s 'C Learning' framework, a deeper evolution of SEL.
🌟 Compassion and Discernment: Essential Values for Today
The integration of compassion and discernment forms the heart of the 'C Learning' approach, which the author views as essential for the modern world. The analogy is used that compassion without discernment is 'blind,' while discernment without compassion is like a 'dried up fruit tree,' underscoring the importance of balancing these values.
🎓 Celebrating the Launch of C Learning and its Future Impact
The author celebrates the global launch of C Learning, a culmination of over 20 years of academic collaboration between the Dalai Lama and Emory University. The hope is that C Learning, an evolved version of SEL (termed 'SEL 2.0'), will continue to spread, influencing more students and creating a lasting impact for generations to come.
