I believe this new book, with its emphasis on clear, easy-to-use strategies, is an excellent model of our values and goals. --Roger Weissberg, Ph. D., and CKO, CASEL """This book provides clear, easy-to-use social and emotional learning strategies that teachers can imbed in their daily instruction across all academic areas. These approaches will help teachers to engage students who will become more knowledgeable, reflective, and caring individuals and community members."" --Roger P. Weissberg, PhD, Chief Knowledge Officer, CASEL ""Considering that the mental health status of so many of today's middle schoolers and teens is poor, it is hard to imagine a time when social and emotional learning is more essential. The authors' method, with its emphasis on introducing SEL into elementary classrooms by embedding it into academic subjects, makes a lot of sense to me. This book provides teachers with relatively easy means of fostering SEL without having to pay a price in reduced academic achievement. I sincerely hope the world's teacher core will give this approach a try."" --Timothy Dugan, M.D. Senior Consultant in Education, Cambridge Health Alliance, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry; Assistant Clinical Professor, Harvard Medical School ""I am an ardent proponent of SEL, and infuse my academic lesson plans with SEL strategies where possible. I very much enjoyed being a consult for this book, and I recommend its readily usable approach whole-heartedly!"" --Lindsey Neves, North Attleboro, MA (USA) Public School System ""Many if not most of my fellow teachers would like to offer instruction in social and emotional learning (SEL), but pressures to prepare students for standardized tests of ""facts and formulae"" make this all but impossible. Therefore, the best way to introduce SEL into the curriculum, and probably the only way, is by embedding it into academic subject matter. In this book, Dacey and his teacher associates provide easy-to-follow strategies for doing this, which not only fosters SEL, but typically leads to improved academic performance."" --Nancy Alloway, career-long elementary teacher, recently retired ""Even the most casual observer must recognize that social and emotional skills are sorely lacking in much of our personal, organizational, and governmental interactions these days. What makes the situation especially egregious is that it doesn't have to be that way. Modern psycho-social science and spiritual inquiry have discovered many means for improving human interactions. We need to do a much better job of teaching these skills, especially in the world's schools. Therefore, I applaud the approach of this new book, and its innovative strategies for achieving this vital goal."" --Rev. John Hickey, Unitarian Universalist Minister" Author InformationJohn Dacey is Professor Emeritus of the Lynch School of Education at Boston College in Chestnut Hill.
