Translating Pedagogies of Social and Emotional Learning into Practice

This book provides practical guidance to pre- and in-service educators on how to deliver social and emotional content intentionally and systematically. Social and emotional learning (SEL) has garnered increasing attention for its potential to address a range of social, emotional, and academic challenges, from motivation and cooperation to relationships and life success. Translating Pedagogies of Social and Emotional Learning into Practice presents five core pedagogies—modeling, practice promotion, transfer promotion, elaboration, and validation— exploring how each can be used to scaffold students’ SEL. Driven by an original framework, this systematic approach will help educators develop a tailored SEL implementation blueprint for their classroom, school, and beyond that, factors in students’ diverse identities and needs.
