Many "Models" address Social Emotional Learning!



We’ve highlighted: CASEL’s model, as well as those of Zimmerman, Paris and Winograd, Carolyn Saarni (Emotional Development), Myrna Shure (I Can Problem Solve).


What criteria can a teacher use to choose among all of the possible SEL Programs?

How can a teacher or parent sift through all of the labels that address a child’s sense of “Agency” in both the personal and social domains?


If we look across models, can we develop a set of SEL skills that children can begin in preschool? …  In Kindergarten? … In 1st Grade?  Is follow through important across elementary grades?


Can parents and teachers do this on their own or is a school wide commitment necessary?


Should we focus on personal and/or relationship skills?


Can we match "A" Model of SEL to the individual child's skills and needs?


Lots of questions to answer over the next several weeks.
