Teaching with a Social, Emotional, and Cultural Lens

Teaching with a Social, Emotional, and Cultural Lens goes beyond existing social emotional learning programs to introduce a new framework for integrating the development of key skills needed for academic success into daily classroom practice. The framework spells out the competencies, processes, and strategies that effective P-12 educators need to employ in order to build students' social and emotional learning. The book is based on a decade of pioneering work by the Center for Reaching & Teaching the Whole Child at San José State University, and builds on the work of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning and on research about effective teaching and learning and culturally responsive practices. Nancy Lourié Markowitz and Suzanne M. Bouffard provide a critical roadmap for classroom teachers and university faculty. --
