A few readings on the importance of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and mindfulness, along with how the two movements compliment one another:

1. Why Teaching Mindfulness Benefits Student Learning (Mind/Shift)
2. How Social-Emotional Learning Transforms Classrooms (GGSC)
3. SEL: Luxury or Necessity? (Mindful.org)

4. How to successfully embed a mindfulness program in a SEL context (M.S. Lawlor. Chapter excerpt from:Mindfulness in Adolescence: New Directions for Youth Development, Number 142)
