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. -
