A resolution expressing support for the designation of the week of March 4 through March 8, 2024, as "National Social and Emotional Learning Week" to recognize the critical role social and emotional learning plays in supporting the academic success and overall well-being of students, educators, and families.

This non-binding Senate resolution (SRES 576) expresses support for designating March 4-8, 2024, as "National Social and Emotional Learning Week." It recognizes the role of social and emotional learning (SEL) programs - which focus on skills like self-awareness, relationship building, and responsible decision-making - in improving students' academic performance, mental wellness, and long-term success. The resolution encourages expanded access to SEL for students and educators but does not create new laws, funding, or mandates. It directly acknowledges the efforts of schools and communities already implementing SEL, without imposing requirements on any entity.
