Finding high-quality and reducing educational materials is important due to the growing interest in providingsocial and emotional learning opportunities throughout after-school and youth activities. An introduction of therecently released Social, Emotional, and Ethical Learning framework and curriculum, created at EmoryUniversity, is given here, along with information on how it might be used in after-school and youth programmes.This extensive learning system contains curriculum for students in kindergarten through grade 12 as well as awebsite for online professional development for individuals who teach the programme. Students that engage insocial emotional learning are better able to interact with others, establish positive relationships, and controltheir emotions. The Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics (CCSCBE), a researchinstitute at Emory University that promotes a science-based strategy for teaching the heart and intellect, createdthe SEE Framework in cooperation with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The framework expands on the guidingconcepts of conventional social and emotional learning (SEL), adding attention training, compassion and ethicaldiscernment, resilience and trauma-informed practise, and systems thinking as additional elements. The SEEFramework places a strong emphasis on the values and skills that students learn via SEE Learning in order toperform actions that are sensitive, knowledgeable, and accountable and that contribute to the long-termwellbeing of themselves as well as society.
