Connecting SEL to Outcomes

Catching up with some reading last night--this article from
Edutopia caught my eye--not digital-speci c, but relevant to some
of our convos on trying to support that student-centered and safe
environment...Some of these prompts may be great food-for-
thought for those who are already working avenues for student
re ection into the learning process...

Connecting SEL to Academic

Outcomes
Social and Emotional Learning Skills that
students develop in social and emotional
learning-empathy, collaboration, and so on-
are closely connected to standards in
many academic subjects. Allison Shelley / The Verbatim Agency for
American Education Social and emotional learning (SEL) is sometimes
perceived as being just one more thing heaped on educators' plates, but
it's truly valuable-in small, frequent doses, it helps bring about many
valued outcomes.

Facebook Group "Ceramics Teachers K-12"

Another high school teacher let me know of the existence of this
