What is social-emotional learning?

Social-emotional learning (SEL) helps students understand their feelings, get along with others and make responsible choices. It works best as short, regular routines rather than a one-off lesson. Edform helps in three ways. AI tools draft an SEL lesson with a scenario, practice and reflection, quick wellbeing check-in questions with tips on how to follow up, social stories and restorative reflection sheets. Polls and word clouds let every student answer how they feel — anonymously if you want. And classroom screens keep routines predictable with a visual timer, traffic light, work symbols and a noise meter.

How to build an SEL routine

  1. 1

    Check in

    Start the day with a poll or word cloud: students answer on their devices, without names if you prefer.

  2. 2

    Teach a skill

    Draft an SEL lesson with AI, edit it, and run it as an interactive lesson with questions.

  3. 3

    Keep it calm

    Put a visual timer, traffic light and work symbols on the board so students know what's next.

Frequently asked questions

Can students answer a check-in anonymously?

Yes. Quick polls, exit tickets and word clouds on the board don't ask for a name unless you turn that on.

What SEL tools does the AI have?

SEL lesson, student check-in, social story, restorative reflection and behavior intervention plan, among others. You edit everything before using it. AI tools use AI points: 5 a month on Basic, 300 on Pro.

Can I put SEL routines on the board?

Yes. Classroom screens have a visual timer, traffic light, work symbols, noise meter, day plan and more.

Does Edform replace a counselor?

No. These are classroom tools for everyday routines. Follow your school's procedures for any concern about a student.

Can I use it with young children?

Yes. Social stories and emoji answers suit young learners, and classroom screens work without student devices.
