All Learning is Social and Emotional 2.0

with Nancy Frey and Doug Fisher

Program Description: While social and emotional learning (SEL) is most familiar as compartmentalized programs separate from academics, the truth is, all learning is social and emotional. Over the last four years, a lot has been learned about what works. What teachers say, the values we express, the materials and activities we choose, and the skills we prioritize all influence how students think, see themselves, and interact with content and with others.
