Synopsis

SEL is not separate from academics or instruction; it is integral to quality teaching and learning.

Not every school has the time, resources, capacity, or conditions to implement a schoolwide SEL programme. But prioritising SEL need not take time from instruction. This book draws on the latest research and resources to offer individual teachers and teacher teams an accessible guide to incorporating SEL into everyday teaching in middle- and high-school classrooms.

About this title

Review:

SEL Every Day is the book that the field of secondary school SEL has been waiting for. It needs to be in the hands of every secondary school teacher who cares about teaching the whole child and knows that both teaching and learning are intrinsically social and emotional. Through Srinivasan's own embodiment of SEL practices and her direct and extensive first-hand work with students and teachers, this book puts to rest the myth that the teaching and learning of SEL is separate and too time consuming for the secondary classroom.--Linda Lantieri, author of Building Emotional Intelligence, Senior Program Advisor, Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL)

SEL Every Day masterfully addresses high school educators' biggest challenges around SEL: how to fit SEL into the curriculum without taking time away from academic content and how to teach it in a developmentally-appropriate way that meets adolescents' needs. But Srinivasan takes these challenges one step further and centers them in a pedagogy of love--'the ultimate goal of SEL'--where both the adults and their students 'feel seen, safe, appreciated, and loved.'--Vicki Zakrzewski, Ph.D., Education Director, Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley

Educators, students, and parents alike are calling for more attention to social and emotional learning in our schools and communities. This book paints a compelling picture of both the challenges and the urgency of ensuring our adolescent students experience SEL in their schools and classrooms every day. Srinivasan brings rich knowledge of SEL research and lived experience leading and teaching SEL to this practical and inspiring guide to integrating SEL into our secondary classrooms.--Karen Van Ausdal, Senior Director of Practice with CASEL

SEL Every Day is a remarkable map for guiding educators to integrate SEL into their secondary educational settings. Meena Srinivasan is one of the few experts who has done the real work of implementing SEL on a systems level, while embodying and modeling the true principals of mindfulness and SEL from the inside out. This book is full of practical, scientific, and strategic methods for cultivating a more compassionate school environment. SEL Every Day is accessible, full of relatable stories, and a delight to read.--Daniel Rechtschaffen, MFT, author of The Way of Mindful Education and the Mindful Education Workbook

Meena Srinivasan offers educators an invaluable resource for implementing SEL in their schools and classrooms. Drawing on her own experiences as a teacher and a leader, Srinivasan offers insights and suggestions that are grounded, actionable, wise and potentially transformational.--Elena Aguilar, author of The Art of Coaching, The Art of Coaching Teams, and Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators
