Social and Emotional Learning in the Daily Life of Classrooms

Integrating social and emotional learning into existing initiatives, including teacher evaluation, Common Core State Standards implementation, and professional learning, is no easy task. Regional technical assistance providers and state and district leaders can use this module to:

  • Deepen their knowledge and skills for integrating a social and emotional learning emphasis into their policy and planning work.
  • Strengthen connections between social and emotional learning, the Common Core State Standards, and teacher evaluation and professional development systems.
  • Learn strategies for supporting school leaders in guiding teachers’ to reflect on their own teaching practices and social and emotional competencies.

The module builds on the ideas shared in our Research-to-Practice Brief, Teaching the Whole Child: Instructional Practices That Support Social-Emotional Learning in Three Teacher Evaluation Frameworks.

The module provides six hours of material, including a facilitator's guide, a collection of PowerPoint slides, handouts, a sample agenda, a workbook, and an assessment guide.

Spotlight on Deeper Learning

What do today’s students really need to learn in order to succeed, not only in the classroom but also later on in college, careers, and as engaged citizens? What role can deeper learning—“a set of competencies students must master in order to develop a keen understanding of academic content and apply their knowledge to problems in the classroom and on the job”—play?
