The Wallace Foundation, an ASCD partner, has created a guide to navigating social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum programs. Written by a research team headed by Harvard education professor Stephanie Jones and intended to provide practical information for schools and out-of-school programs, the guide includes an overview of 12 social-emotional skills and 17 common SEL instructional practices, as well as tools to evaluate curriculum needs and compare the features and methods of 25 evidence-based SEL programs. The publication's aim is to help educators cut through some of the confusion around SEL terms and practices and take a "look inside" the programmatic resources that are available to schools. The publication, "Navigating SEL from the Inside Out," is available.
