Synopsis

Teachers are trained to manage misbehaviour in the classroom, but receive little guidance about how to cultivate positive, prosocial behaviour. With this book in hand, elementary teachers will be ready to launch the school year with confidence, using the concrete strategies in each chapter for improving students’ SEL skills in the five categories defined by CASEL (the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning): communication skills, emotion management, emotional awareness, social awareness and decision-making skills. This handy guide breaks down instruction of these skills into small, sequenced steps, making it easy to foster students’ skills from the start of school and build on them as the year progresses.
