# of children supported in foundational literacy, math, or social and emotional learning

Total number of unique children supported in foundational literacy, foundational math, or social and emotional learning through programs supported by Save the Children or partners. Please take care to avoid double-counting since many children are supported in two or three areas.

SEL definition: Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, make responsible decisions, and process and retain information. SEL is a pedagogical process promoting knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The specific focus of SEL, as one piece of a much wider multi-sector spectrum of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), is to develop and build skills. SEL interventions are sequenced, active, focused, and explicit teaching methodologies and content, specifically designed to be implemented in classrooms, learning spaces, or home learning.

Examples of SEL ECCD programming include but are not limited to:  ECCD: HEART and other ECCD programs.
