I absolutely love this article ! reason being is , we really don't talk about the emotional wellbeing that students have , even the teachers !, we are all at a time when we are thinking about so many things its so hard to focus on school. People are out here dying and some teachers would still expect you to write a 5 page paper at midnight tomorrow. This articles talks about what discussions we should be having because its not all about school work , we should all come together and support each other and try to help much as possible , be open and express the feelings you may have , everyone is going through tough times right now.

Why the Increased Focus on Social-Emotional Learning? - by Katherine Prince

"With increasing frequency, social-emotional learning (SEL) is getting renewed attention — in research, in policy and in the classroom. It’s not a new concept, so why is there new interest? Education stakeholders increasingly realize that it prepares students not only for today, but also for tomorrow.

 

"There are some job skills that transcend industry: deep self-knowledge, emotional regulation and empathy and perspective taking. These three areas of social-emotional skills provide a strong foundation upon which people can grow specific functional skills and knowledge. In addition to core academic knowledge, how might we make these skills central to teaching and learning?"

I was a little skeptical on this.  However, if you think about it-it makes sense.  All of this technology used for social media is impeding students from learning to critically think, collaborate, empathize-among other things.  Helping them learn to work closely with others in a school environment will help them learn to engage well with others at work and in society as a whole when they are adults.

When I was a classroom teacher, the best “tech” I had access to was a shared VCR/DVD player and a cracked overhead projector. As a result, I was unable to leverage technology for better “personalization” in my classroom, and so I leveraged relationships, instead.I “personalized” by getting to know m

Google Forms continues to be a great asset for schools.  Look at how it is being used in this school to teach SEL.

The power of the Infographic is that it references both teacher and student actions and habits. I have shared it with my teachers. This might become a solid self-assessment tool for coaching conversations with teachers.
