Note from the Editors

Welcome! We are excited to be supporting you with resources and strategies. This month we are keeping the newsletter brief and highlighting some fun and simple activities you can use and a few resources to check out over the summer months. Please note that during the summer months we will do one newsletter for July/August that will be shared mid-summer. That newsletter will focus on supporting you with getting off on the right foot for the new school year as well as share some of the exciting offerings we have in store for you! Be sure to check out MyLearningPlan for updates.

We invite you to share this newsletter with others who may benefit from all that is here. :-)

SEL at the Secondary Level

Book Recommendation!

"SEL is not separate from academics or instruction; it is integral to quality teaching and learning.

Not every school has the time, resources, capacity, or conditions to implement a schoolwide SEL program. But prioritizing SEL need not take time from instruction. This book draws on the latest research and resources to offer individual teachers and teacher teams an accessible guide to incorporating SEL into everyday teaching in middle- and high- school classrooms."

Building Emotional Intelligence: Practices to Cultivate Inner Resilience in Children

Another Book Recommendation!

"What's the most important piece of your child's educational experience? If you think it's math, science, or reading, you might be overlooking an essential element: the capacity known as inner resilience. In Building Emotional Intelligence, Linda Lantieri presents a breakthrough guide to help children respond to and rebound from the challenges unique to our times.

... this book offers practical techniques proven to help children increase self-esteem, improve concentration and awareness, and enhance empathy and communication. This powerful guide is arranged according to age group and complemented by spoken-word exercises presented by bestselling author Daniel Goleman."

Onward: Join us for this year long journey inward!
