Description: | Select Guide Rating For years research has pointed to an overwhelmingly positive correlation between social and emotional learning (SEL) and successful student performance. However, the recent push for the Common Core Curriculum, higher standards, Race to the Top, STEM, and other cognitively-based initiatives have crowded out the time, money, and resources for the implementation of SEL either school wide or even in individual classrooms. Common cries from teachers include, “I just don’t have a single minute to devote to anything other than what is going to be on the test,” or “If my administrator comes in here and sees us doing that ‘touchy-feely’ stuff, I will be in real trouble!” There’s more to student success than standards and test scores… The modern view of student achievement focuses on high test scores, higher standards, and racing to the top. Thrive skills fit with new ESSA requirements to go beyond basic academic measurements in order to equip students for lifelong success. Debbie Silver and Dedra Stafford present a practical handbook that guides teachers and parents in fostering learners who are socially and emotionally healthy and prepared to undertake future challenges. Through practical examples, precise strategies, and specific tools this book demonstrates how to empower learners in areas that include:
