Harnessing Social and Emotional Learning to Empower Educators and Students
Strengthen the adult conditions that support schoolwide social and emotional learning.
Building Resilient Schools turns attention toward the adults responsible for implementation: their confidence, preparation, relationships, and participation in the daily life of a school.
Read the full descriptionA school can adopt social and emotional learning without creating the conditions that help it take root.
Building Resilient Schools turns attention toward the adults responsible for implementation: their confidence, preparation, relationships, and participation in the daily life of a school. The question is not only which program to choose, but how a school supports the people who bring an initiative to life.
Connecting the author’s dissertation research with practical questions of curriculum, professional learning, and school culture, the book invites leaders to examine resilience as an organizational responsibility rather than a collection of isolated student activities.
For principals, educational leaders, and teachers seeking a more coherent approach, these pages connect leadership decisions with the lived experience of educators and students. Use the book to think more carefully about adult participation, implementation, and the environment surrounding a schoolwide effort.
