This was a wonderful video! It gave such voice to the importance of meeting kids’ social and emotional needs in the classroom and the success that can come when they are incorporated into the curriculum and school atmosphere.

I retired in 2005 after teaching thirty years in a public school setting. I spent roughly a third of that time in special education, a third in a mixed ability classroom and a third teaching in a gifted and talented program. Yet, the one theme that was ever present on my mind in all of those settings was the importance of meeting kids' social and emotional needs. Therefore, when I retired I decided to work on my PhD in Education with a cognate in meeting students' social and emotional needs in the classroom. This video does a great job of sharing one way in which that can happen!

Great video..I am passing this along to my art ed adviser at Tyler School of Art, Dr. Joanna Moore. I just graduated,summa cum laude with a BFA and Art ed Certification and now I'm looking for a high school art position in Northeast Pa.
This video has inspired me very much and reafirmed that what I am doing is so important.
Thank you.
