Opis

This book explores the integration of emotional and social development within Arab educational systems. The book argues that effective education transcends academics, nurturing empathy, communication, and self-awareness. Rooted in psychological theories and CASEL's five SEL competencies-self-awareness, self-management, social skills, responsible decision-making, and social awareness-it connects global research to regional challenges such as conflict, social isolation, and traditional teaching methods. This book highlights SEL's transformative role in enhancing students' academic performance, emotional resilience, and community engagement. The work offers practical classroom strategies-journaling, role-playing, meditation, art, and interactive games-to promote emotional intelligence and collaboration. It also emphasizes teacher involvement, family participation, and continuous assessment to ensure sustainability. Ultimately, the book positions SEL as both a moral and educational necessity for cultivating balanced, compassionate citizens capable of contributing positively to their societies.
