The application of social-emotional learning is more intentional in modern education, but it's not a new concept. In fact, the theory of social-emotional learning stretches back to the ancient Greeks.

The Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Framework provides the structure for how to implement SEL and obtain the desired outcomes. If the SEL Competencies, instruction, and integration are the what, and the outcomes are the why, the Theory of Action is the how.

The Theory of Action identifies the areas that require action in order to implement SEL in a way that will result in positive outcomes.
