(EDT), ISBN 1462520154, ISBN-13 9781462520152, Brand New, Free P&P in the UKThis book was produced with support from CASEL, the academic organization for the field of social and emotional learning (SEL). This volume serves as a handbook for the field. It also serves as a tool to promote SEL within the field of education as the means to effective K-12 educational reform, and its professionals as the experts required. The premise of SEL is that effective education is based on student-teacher relationships, and these are driven by a child's desire to do something that matters to others in the world, and the teacher's desire to nurture and fulfill that desire. Nearly 100 contributors offer chapters on a huge variety of SEL topics, from its economic effectiveness to its neuroscience to its effect on health outcomes. One section looks at programming, giving evidence-based reports on SEL from preschool to higher education and with special populations and programs (after-school, juvenile justice, students with common disabilities, and so on). The major classroom focus is on K-12, especially the early and middle grades. Another section focuses on assessment. A third looks at policy and implementation.
