SEL APPLIED TO MEXICO
I am following the SEL program since last year, I started working with teachers and children this school year in my school with SEL, in order to change the way my societey thinks children must be educated based mostly in punishment, SEL helped transforming the way we understanding others. It has been successful among my whole community, changes in behavior not only in children but also in us as teachers and adults has been changing!!! We need to work for a better Mexico and a better world!!!
Selling
Using the term "Selling SEL" is especially appropriate in that we are being sold that which we already own.
We don't need programs or experts or even permission to teach children and adolescents empathy, self-control, reflection, cooperation etc.
Just do it.
We don't need an expert to tell us that these qualities are components of success in life - read a biography of a successful, contributing adult.

He is a very smart, articulate, "synthesizer."
:) keep it going on
nice clip, thanks
Yes and no
I don't think he ever claimed to create anything really new, or do any original research - He is a psychologist and (was) a reporter. He pulled together research, made concepts come alive for the average reader (layperson) and became the voice or representation of a ton of info that needed to be made more popular and relevant to the public at large.

Daniel Goulman made the real
Daniel Goulman made the real furor, saying that more important role than IQ, plays a factor EQ - emotional intelligence measure, because control over your own emotions and the ability to perceive other people's feelings more accurately characterize the intelligence than the ability to think logically.
I think that Daniel
I think that Daniel Goleman's "Primal Leadership" hits the nail on the head when it talks about Emotional Intelligence and making those you are leading feel good.
SEL
I am a strong proponent of social and emotional literacy. I recently defended my Ph.D. thesis (Toward a neuropedagogy of emotion),that argues for the primacy of emotion in brain and body function, and advocates teaching meta-emotion in schools. If, as Dr. Antonio Damasio states in his book, Looking for Spinoza (2003), understanding human emotion is the key to improving human functioning, why is it such a struggle to get the AO's of education to examine programs on SEL and see their value?
For too long the focus has been on cognition, and Damasio and others present strong evidence that emotion can and does override cognition, that emotion influences attention, retention and recall; and others (i.e. Lyubomirsky) tell us that emotion greatly influences health and general well-being.
The ENGRAMMETRON, located at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, is the first educational neuroscience lab in Canada. See our website (www.engrammetron.net) for more information about emotion and its influence, as well as the work we are doing there to provoke educators to re-think the curriculum.
emotionally abused children
In all my years of teaching high school, Middle school, and elementary school, and Technical College students in Early Childhood Education I have emphasized that emotional health is the area most neglected in our nation's children. My favorite thing to say is our children are fast becoming "an endangered species".
Children need to be loved and valued as human beings more than any thing else. All other learning follows is my stand. Ida Swindell
