First sentence: There is a growing body of research and practice that underscores what parents and teachers have long known: that learning how to "read" ourselves-and the reactions of others-is as important as learning how to read words an numbers.
Description: Leading national experts describe the range of programs and perspectives that elementary teachers and school specialists can use to promote social-emotional learning. They provide concrete strategies and curricular-based programs that educators can rapidly implement or integrate into school life, in and outside the classroom.
