IMPACT OF SEE LEARNING ON LEARNER

Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning (SEE Learning®), is a K-12 education program developed for
international use, is the culmination of an academic collaboration that began in 1998 between Emory University
and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Guided by a shared vision for an education of heart and mind, the program
conveys a universal, non-sectarian, and science-based approach to bringing the ethical development of the
whole child into education—an approach long advocated by the Dalai Lama. SEE Learning® provides
educators with a comprehensive framework for the cultivation of social, emotional and ethical competencies;
age-specific curricula comprised of easy to implement lessons; and a support structure for educator preparation,
facilitator certification, and on-going professional development.
SEE Learning builds upon the best practices in social-emotional learning (SEL) programs, but also expands on
them by drawing in new developments based on the latest knowledge in educational practice and scientific
research. It includes important new topics such as attention training, the cultivation of compassion for self and
others, resiliency skills based on trauma-informed care, systems thinking, and ethical discernment.
