"The Social Emotional Classroom provides step-by-step plans and action-oriented activities for the busy educator to use with their students. District Administrators will want to make this book a 'must read' for all their classroom teachers!"--Timothy Hagan, President & CEO, Education Associates"Teachers have learned well the importance of social-emotional learning and this book provides excellent guidelines to navigate this critical area. Well-articulated descriptions, charts for assessing SEL health and creative and helpful suggestions for the school environment make The Social Emotional Classroom a valuable resource for any educator."--Dr. Maria Cleary, President of Readeezy and former school superintendent"For educators looking to cut through all the noise around SEL, The Social Emotional Classroom provides a straight-forward and practical guide to bring SEL into your classroom. Based on extensive research, this guide is easily skimmable to help busy educators get just the information they need when they need it to support their students as well as themselves."--Kate Finnefrock, education executive with over 20 years experience building products for educators"This book is rather timely. It comes at a time in history when the world is returning to a new normal after a raging pandemic that has established social and emotional learning as a necessity in education. It will empower educators world-wide on how to transform their classrooms into safe social emotional spaces that cultivate well-being, enable holistic development and contribute to building a kinder world."--Nandini Chatterjee Singh, Cognitive Neuroscientist, Senior National Program Officer, UNESCO MGIEP
