Social emotional learning involves people obtaining and implementing knowledge, affect, and skills / abilities in order to manage emotions, achieve strength-based goals, show empathy, create healthy relationships, as well as make healthy choices. The five core competencies that embody social emotional learning include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills. In addition to ensuring that students’ possess hard technical skills in order to be academically proficient and successful, school counselors are also encouraged to integrate social emotional learning components into their comprehensive counseling program to promote college and career readiness. It is imperative that upon graduation, all students are able to communicate, solve problems, resolve conflicts, regulate their emotions, manage time and stress, possess motivation, zest, optimism, as well as leadership skills, as these core skills are paramount in helping them to be college and career ready, as well as productive members of society at large.  \nKeywords: school counselors, social emotional learning, college and career readiness  \nINTRODUCTION  \nSocial emotional learning (SEL) is the process by which people acquire, obtain, and execute the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that are needed to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, demonstrate empathy, build and maintain happy and healthy relationships, and make sound choices (Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki, Taylor, & Schellinger, 2011) . The overarching purpose of this paper is to address the significance of social emotional learning, as well as the importance for school counselors to integrate social emotional learning into their curricula in order to help students be academically, personally, socially, and emotionally successful both in school, as well as in their postsecondary endeavors. Social emotional learning enables students to be more prepared for college and post-secondary workforce endeavors, as students who possess these skills are better able to resolve conflict, communicate, take on leadership roles, assume responsibility / accountability, are more able to manage time and stress, problem solve, have a more optimistic mindset, as well as are able to collaborate and work efficiently with others, which is critical to productivity and efficiency. School counselors are strongly encouraged to integrate social emotional learning components into their comprehensive counseling programs to ensure that students possess strong leadership, collaboration, problem solving, communication, academic, personal / social, vocational, and interpersonal skills that are vital for their post-secondary success (ASCA, 2012) .  \nSchool counselors are encouraged to create a school climate that is safe, rigorous, inclusive, engaging, and promotes success for all students. Research substantiates that healthy schools and supportive school environments help to provide students with connectivity, support, engagement, safety, as well  \nas access to social capital and resources necessary for growth (Berg, Osher, Moroney, & Yoder, 2017) . The National School Climate Council (NSCC) defines a school climate as a, ‘pattern of school life experiences and reflects norms, goals, values, interpersonal relationships, teaching, learning, leadership practices, and organizational structures (NSCC, 2004) . In order to create safe and inclusive learning climates counselors can integrate social and emotional learning in order to help promote the health development, feelings of p","cbCaisNiQ2dzJYkk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisNiQ2dzJYkk","pdf",387997,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n# Social Emotional Learning Competencies\n## Self-Awareness\n## Self-Management","[{\"question\":\"What is social emotional learning and why is it emphasized in this paper?\",\"answer\":\"SEL is described as the process through which people acquire and apply knowledge, attitudes, and skills to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, show empathy, build relationships, and make sound choices.
