Letter from the Team Most people have assumed that the kind of academic learning that goes on In a school has little or nothing to do with one’s emotions or social environment. Now neuroscience is telling us exactly the opposite. The emotional centers of the brain are intricately interwoven with the neurocortical areas involved in cognitive learning. Multiple research studies demonstrate that social and emotional learning programs (SEL) pave the way for better academic learning. They teach children social and emotional skills that are intimately linked with cognitive development. In the ideal learning environment, children are focused, fully attentive, motivated, engaged, and enjoy their work. Children become empowered to be their best selves. Conversely, when a child trying to learn is caught up in a distressing emotion, the centers for learning are temporarily hampered. The child’s attention becomes preoccupied with whatever may be the source of the trouble. Because attention is itself a limited capacity, the child has that much less ability to hear, understand, or remember what a teacher or a book is saying. Illustrating again the direct link between emotions and learning. Appreciating the important links between SEL and academic learning, we at Vertita continue our commitment to focusing on our two of founding principles; Strength in academics and the development of the whole child - creativity, adaptability, empowerment, and resilience through the application of SEL. When it comes to children, we are developing students that will have the knowledge and ability to play in the real world AND cultivate well-being. Enjoy the following eBook which further articulates this vision for Verita, and the promises that we offers our children for their future. 3 Integrating Academics and Social Emotional Learning
