Today’s classrooms are expected to be more interactive, collaborative, and rigorous than ever before. Research has shown that when educators attend to the social emotional needs of the students and offer instruction in the skills necessary to successfully engage with intrarpersonal and interpersonal interactions that academic achievement is enhanced. What are these social-emotional competencies, how are they developed, and how can they be integrated in instruction throughout the school day?
Mary Tavegia, who has more than 37 years of educational experience in schools in Iowa and Illinois with 33 years in La Grange School District 102, addresses these questions and provides resources for learning more about SEL.
