Please read the following sections of the Future of Children (2017) issue focused on SEL. This publication, written by leading scholars, is intended to use research to inform teachers and administrators about best practices in SEL.

Read the following sections:

– Social and Emotional Learning: Introducing the Issue (p.3-12)

– Social and Emotional Learning Programs for Adolescents (p.73-94)

– Social and Emotional Learning and Teachers (p.137-156)

In the space below, distill each section down into “3 important lessons for teachers.” These can be in the form of bullet points, as short or long as you need. The point is for you to synthesize this information about SEL in 9 key take-aways so that we can jump into considering how they get put into practice.
