Samenvatting:

In this helpful new book, John Dacey, Gian Criscitiello, and Maureen Devlin show you how to seamlessly infuse social and emotional learning into your curriculum. With the growing emphasis on student assessment and learning outcomes, many teachers find they lack the time and the encouragement to begin implementing SEL techniques into their instruction. This book offers a solution in the form of practical lesson plans for grades 3–5 in ELA, math, social studies, and science—all of which can be implemented without tedious preparation and all of which are designed to boost creativity, cooperation, concentration, and critical thinking. Your students will learn how to…

• Evaluate the costs and benefits of their decision-making;
• Connect daily choices to an overarching sense of purpose;
• Judge independently and pursue self-awareness;
• Assess, harness, and transform emotions as a strategic resource;
• Gain energy from personal values and commitments; and
• Practice mindfulness and think positively.
