All Learning Is Social and Emotional: Helping Students Develop Essential Skills for the Classroom an

While social and emotional learning (SEL) is most familiar as compartmentalized programs separate from academics, the truth is, all learning is social and emotional. What teachers say, the values we express, the materials and activities we choose, and the skills we prioritize all influence how students think, see themselves, and interact with content and with others. If you teach kids rather than standards, and if you want all kids to get what they need to thrive, Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, and Dominique Smith offer a solution: a comprehensive, five-part model of SEL that's easy to integrate into everyday content instruction, no matter what subject or grade level you teach. You'll learn the hows and whys of: - Building students' sense of identity and confidence in their ability to learn, overcome challenge, and influence the world around them. - Helping students identify, describe, and regulate their emotional responses. - Promoting the cognitive regulation skills critical to decision making and problem solving. - Fostering students' social skills, including teamwork and sharing, and their ability to establish and repair relationships. - Equipping students to becoming informed and involved citizens. Along with a toolbox of strategies for addressing 33 essential competencies, you'll find real-life examples highlighting the many opportunities for social and emotional learning within the K–12 academic curriculum. All Learning is Social and Emotional is an invaluable resource for educators and parents. Children’s social and emotional development is too important to be an add-on or an afterthought, too important to be left to chance. Use this book's integrated SEL approach to help your students build essential skills that will serve them in the classroom and throughout their lives. This audiobook is masterfully narrated by Kim Handysides. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©2020 ASCD (P)

Better Than Carrots or Sticks: Restorative Practices for Positive Classroom Management

Classroom management is traditionally a matter of encouraging good behavior and discouraging bad by doling out rewards and punishments. But studies show that when educators empower students to address and correct misbehavior among themselves, positive results are longer lasting and wider reaching. In Better Than Carrots or Sticks, longtime educators and best-selling authors Dominique Smith, Douglas Fisher, and Nancy Frey provide a practical blueprint for creating a cooperative and respectful classroom climate in which students and teachers work through behavioral issues together. After a comprehensive overview of the roots of the restorative practices movement in schools, the authors explain how to: - Establish procedures and expectations for student behavior that encourage the development of positive interpersonal skills - Develop a nonconfrontational rapport with even the most challenging students - Implement conflict resolution strategies that prioritize relationship-building and mutual understanding over finger-pointing and retribution Rewards and punishments may help maintain order in the short term, but they're, at best, superficially effective and, at worst, counterproductive. This audiobook will prepare teachers at all levels to ensure that their classrooms are welcoming, enriching, and constructive environments built on collective respect and focused on student achievement.
