Summary

Hayashi

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills have been proposed as crucial for all students' school and life success regardless of their geographic location. SEL has been implemented in many places. On the other hand, there are concerns that such SEL programs have not traditionally focused on learning processes that are situated in the learners' contexts and life experiences. In this study, we are going to explore the culturally responsive and situated SEL and introduce a conceptual model grounded in bioecological and embodied theoretical frameworks to help guide future practice for culturally relevant SEL.
