Summary

Building students' social and emotional skills leads to improved behavior and academic achievement and can even translate to success later in life.

Join ASCD and the Rennie Center for Education Research and Policy for the release of our research on state- and district-level policies and practices related to social and emotional learning.

In this webinar, you'll discover how state-level policies have been developed to help schools address social and emotional learning in the classroom, how states and districts are measuring student progress with social and emotional learning competencies, and the opportunities and challenges that states and districts face in supporting students' social and emotional learning development.

The webinar will also address how an academic leader state, like Massachusetts, is considering next steps in incorporating social and emotional learning to further improve student learning outcomes.

During this presentation, we will also share real-world social and emotional learning examples and best practices at the state, district, and school levels.

Recorded November 18, 2015

Topic: social-emotional learning
