Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process of understanding and managing emotions, setting positive goals, showing empathy, building relationships, and making responsible decisions.

Extensive research spanning over 20 years demonstrates that SEL has numerous benefits, including

  • improved academic achievement
  • enhanced behavior
  • high return on investment.
We integrate SEL into all aspects of students' lives, creating an inclusive learning environment that fosters their social, emotional, and academic development. This approach permeates their classroom experience, daily activities, home life, and community interactions.

High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS)

Our specialist facilitators use the standards and framework set out by the Victorian Government Department of Education (High Impact Teaching Methods) in all our programs.

HITS are 10 instructional practices that reliably increase student learning when they're applied.

HITS have emerged from the findings of tens of thousands of studies on what has worked in classrooms across Australia and the world. International experts often rank HITS at the top of strategies that contribute to student learning.

By using the HITS to build their pool of knowledge, professional learning communities can anchor their interventions in evidence-based practices and so increase the likelihood of interventions being effective.

Investing in our specialist facilitators

We invest significantly into our team of program facilitators through regular professional development workshops lasting up to 3 days at a time, 4 or 5 times a year.

We practice team teaching, mentoring and have a deep knowledge base to share. We are continually improving ourselves with frequent self reflections and cultivate a growth mindset at all times. We aspire to be the very best we can be - just like what we aspire of the children we engage.

Life Education Victoria is committed to providing and actively promoting a safe environment for children. We have zero tolerance towards child abuse and are committed to protecting the physical, emotional, cultural and social wellbeing of all children. Our organisation has policies and procedures to protect children, and any allegations or safety concerns will be treated seriously. Life Education Victoria acknowledges that children’s safety is a whole of community responsibility and is everyone’s business.
