    10 ) Adam Tyner- Selling SEL

    Do you support Social Emotional Learning?  Well I guess that depends exactly what it is.  This is what Adam Tyner and his team found out when they wrote "How to Sell SEL: Parents and the Politics of Social-Emotional Learning" https://sel.fordhaminstitute.org/ On the episode Adam and I discuss what exactly parents want from SEL, how teachers can give it to them and how political partisanship may be a major factor here.
