Social, emotional, and academic learning is a lifelong journey. At some point, we all struggle in social situations, and engaging in a social problem solving and feeling-based process can be difficult at times for everyone in the social world—at home, at school, at work, and within the community. But, understanding and considering our own and others' thoughts and feelings is essential for understanding most academic subjects. And when we work in groups (which we will throughout our lives), we need to be able to collaborate effectively with others, which requires taking and getting different perspectives, sharing ideas, and resolving conflicts. This is social thinking (thinking socially), and this critical learning is expected to develop and evolve throughout our lives as we work toward our own and collective goals.
