    Social Awareness is the ability to take the perspective of and empathize with others from diverse backgrounds and

    cultures, to
    understand social and ethical norms for behavior, and to recognize family, school, and community resources and supports.

    What Skills are Associated with Social Awareness?

    Based on the above definition, there are several skills that are associated with social awareness. In order to
    demonstrate this aspect of Social Emotional Learning, students need to develop awareness and abilities
    related to each of the following skills:

     Perspective-taking: Perspective-taking involves the ability to look at and understand a situation or


    concept from an alternate point of view.

     Empathy: Empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. A
    common saying associated with empathy is to “put yourself in his/her shoes.”

     Appreciating diversity: Students should learn the value in recognizing that each individual is unique
    and that differences in race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, or belief should be celebrated rather
    than ignored or argued.

     Respect for others: Respect requires students to view the world with an open mind and to ask
    questions rather than make judgments. Despite their differences, students are asked to treat each
    other with kindness and curiosity rather than hatred or prejudice.

     8 Steps To Improve Your Social Awareness


    Here are 8 steps that will help you become more socially aware if you integrate them into your daily activities:

    1. Learn to identify which types of situations make you uncomfortable, and


    then alter your behaviour to make the best of your circumstances.
    2. Learn to become aware of behaviours in other people that may cause you to respond negatively. As you are
    unlikely to be able to change the other person, you must be able to modify your own behaviour to turn the
    situation into a positive experience.
    3. Take ownership for your behaviour and be willing to apologize for lapses or errors in judgment or insensitive
    actions.
    4. Ask others for their honest feedback about the way you interact with them. Accept the negative feedback along
    with the positive (without getting defensive) and make changes accordingly.
    5. Be aware of you body language. Non-verbal communication is more important than what you have to say.
    Positive body language will benefit your interactions with other people.
    6. Learn to listen with genuine interest. Fight the urge to respond immediately and really listen to what the other
    person is trying to say.
    7. Accept that improving your social skills is not an overnight process. Trying to improve or change too many
    things at once will be counter-productive as you will feel so uncomfortable that you may suffer an emotional
    hijacking.
    8. Maximize your positive personality traits and use them to your advantage when interacting with others.
