Designates March 10 as "Social and Emotional Learning Day" in New Jersey.

AJR 23 designates March 10 as "Social and Emotional Learning Day" in New Jersey to highlight the importance of evidence-based social and emotional learning (SEL) practices in schools and communities. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging schools, organizations, and citizens to observe the day with activities that support SEL skills like managing emotions, building relationships, and making responsible decisions. This symbolic designation does not create new laws or funding but aims to reinforce existing SEL efforts, such as New Jersey’s Clayton Model Pilot Program, which helps schools integrate SEL into student development.
