The Social and Emotional Learning Evidence Base provides an essential foundation for effective social and emotional learning (SEL) knowledge and implementation in K-12.
Today's teacher education and professional developmental programs expect increasing competencies around social-emotional learning and development, making it essential that both underlying science and best practices are accessible to educators. This book systematically details the skills and strategies that define SEL, supported by key studies, theories of change, qualitative data on implementation, and more. Topics such as the malleable, later-life benefits of social-emotional skills as well as individual and group differences showcase the importance of SEL, while best practices for both student outcomes and teacher well-being help to inform decision-making in classrooms and beyond.
Readers will come away with new insights into the content, settings, and instructional methods used in SEL programs.
