Holistic approach is the most effective and transformative way to embed SEL ....Adult SEL isn’t “jeans on Friday”: It’s a leadership imperative districtadministration.com/a… via @District Administration

Adult SEL isn't "jeans on Friday": It's a leadership imperative

Adult SEL lives in the daily interactions that shape school culture, such as how colleagues speak to one another, how they navigate conflict and whether trust exists between staff and leadership.

Connect Critical Thinking Skills to Social-Emotional Learning In The Classroom at @LinSimpson66 @schoolrubric Critical thinking is expansive thinking, which takes the thinker beyond the obvious and superficial, to the truth. Fake news with its banquet of faulty reasoning, and a cacophony of misinformation, blurs fact with opinion, and bombard our senses every day. Information is often delivered in sound bites appealing to mass consumption. schoolrubric.org/connect-cri…

Connect Critical Thinking Skills to Social-Emotional Learning In The Classroom - SchoolRubric

Fake news, sound bites, snap decisions — students live in a world that rewards shortcuts over reflection. How critical thinking and SEL together build the mental muscle to slow down and think well.
