Socio-emotional skills in the New Educational Model
For the first time in Mexico, socio-emotional learning (SEL) has been incorporated as a core dimension of the national mandatory curriculum. In the New Educational Model, “socio-emotional skills and life project” are included as an essential component of the high school graduate profile. In this sense, Construye T has been redesigned to offer the necessary pedagogical tools that will allow professors to implement the program in their schools.
What are socio-emotional skills?
They are tools that allow people to understand and regulate their emotions, to feel and show empathy towards others, to establish and develop positive relations, to make responsible decisions, and to set and achieve personal goals.
Benefits
Evidence has shown that socio-emotional learning (SEL) contributes to:
- Achieve better academic performance.
- Generate a positive school climate.
- Achieve successful career paths.
- Prevent risk behaviors in young people that lead to teenage pregnancy, school dropout, substance abuse, violence, among others.

Construye T promotes
Based on research findings from psychology, education, economics and neurosciences, Construye T has selected six socio-emotional skills that have proven to be both malleable and related to successsful life outcomes.
