SEE Learning® stands for Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning
SEE Learning, an innovative K-12 education program, is a program of the Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics (CCSCBE) at Emory University.
It provides a universal and science-based approach to bringing the ethical development of the whole child into education.
SEE Learning expands on the field of social-emotional learning (SEL) by drawing from new developments in educational practice and scientific research.
What is SEE Learning®
SEE Learning® is an education program for kindergarten to grade 12, developed by Emory University’s Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics in Atlanta, USA.
It offers a high-quality curriculum and a framework for holistic development, grounded in scientific research and the latest educational practices.
The program was created with input from experts in developmental psychology, neuroscience, and education. It also reflects the vision of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who advocates for combining ethical and emotional growth in education through a universal, non-sectarian approach.
SEE Learning® builds on the best practices of social-emotional learning (SEL) developed by globally recognized experts like Dr. Daniel Goleman, Linda Lantieri, and Kimberly Schonert-Reichl. It also incorporates insights from organizational learning expert Peter Senge.
The program goes further by introducing new topics such as attention training, cultivating compassion for self and others, resiliency skills, systems thinking, and ethical discernment, preparing students for both academic and personal success.
