I am curious about this. I am a fairly new elementary teacher in a small town in California. We implement the "40 Assests" program as well as "Character Counts" program based on the book, Inch and Miles, to build self esteem. Many school districts in the area use similar programs, but I mostly hear about the 40 assests. Is anyone familiar with this? We have even had parent nights to educate the families about the concepts of the 40 assets programs. Although with the recent budget cuts, I have not seen as much attention to educating the families as I did the past couple of years. I guess I assumed social and emotional learning was happening in schools all over the country. Interesting though, I do not remember this from when I was in school.
