Social-emotional learning is a key component of child development.  Many students will be entering a classroom for the first time when they come to you.  For these students, concepts such as turn-taking, sharing, and listening may not be fully developed and require constant opportunities to practice and apply these skills.  Self-regulation and self-control are also key concepts that a typical preschool student must learn to master.  Social-emotional learning must be imbedded throughout the instructional day.  Opportunities to build social-emotional skills should be present throughout the classroom, along with strategies and mechanisms for self regulation such as the Cozy Corner.
