Читать книгу Essentials of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) - Donna Lord Black - Страница 41

The knowledge we gain from history is not only informative, but transformative as well. It gives us insight into current‐day problems, provides context to our efforts, guides us forward, and encourages us to think critically about future efforts as we strive to advance and promote SEL in schools. This chapter will explore recent events to highlight how awareness of the need for SEL has been propelled to the forefront of education. This will be followed by an investigation into past events, primarily within the United States, from which SEL has emerged, to illustrate how it has evolved over several decades. Through this systematic review, we can reflect on the impact of SEL and subsequently analyze how it might guide our efforts forward to help influence positive outcomes for our students. The goal of the review is not to memorize a bombardment of facts or to confirm and admire existing problems, but to use the information constructively to help us conceptualize a best approach for moving forward and advancing our efforts.
