All Learning Is Social and Emotional, Helping Students Develop Essential Skills for the Classroom and Beyond
What exactly is social and emotional learning?
How can teachers integrate social and emotional learning into classrooms to support students? Our authors believe that classroom learning always includes cognitive, social and emotional aspects. Does focusing on SEL take away from academics? Do SEL programs teach values and if so, is that a job for teachers or parents? This book, written by Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher and Dominique Smith, provides K-12 educators with a toolbox of strategies that will help transform students into empowered, all- purpose problem solvers.

You need to log in to enroll in a course

You can find this book at amazon.com or your favorite bookstore.
2) Write complete answers to all of the questions on the Book Study Handout. The handout is provided to you after registration is completed.
3) Look at the bottom of page 113 in the book. There are four questions that the authors recommend educators use when problem solving with students. Use this problem solving process with students at least 3-5 times in your educational setting.
4) Write a 2-3 page paper detailing these conversations (no names of students) and reflecting on the advantages of asking these questions versus the more traditional approach where educators ask students what they did and why they did it. In this reflection paper, be sure to also reflect on the degree to which you have taught students to recognize and solve problems in the past, including allowing students time to do so. Turn in the 2-3 page paper.
All 4 assignments must be completed within 1 year. Upload completed handout and paper to your Dashboard on the website or email all completed assignments and paperwork to lorie@teacherstudy.org.
