Christian
I agree with Binay Kumar, I thought "where was this when I was in school?".I also think we are all "kids" and it's never to late to learn better ways that can help others and us in the process.
I am also of Christian faith, and although not related, this video made me think: love in action, meaning: Helping others "love one another".
Peace to you all.
I really enjoyed this video on social and emotional learning. I think it is just as important to students future success as academics. In my first grade classroom this year I have been doing a lot of character education and social and emotional learning. I have noticed a big difference in my students and the way they treat one another. I have also seen a huge increase in self esteem. Great video. Thank You.
I am happy to see that this
I am happy to see that this sort of thing is being used in school. What is disheartening is that this video was impressive or even suprising to some of my colleagues. This is common sense people. I am not trying to take away from any of the work that is being done, I just think it is sad and scary that teachers, the people responsible for teaching America's youth, need to be told that this sort of thing is beneficial by a Ph.D.. This should be a normal part of a teacher's practice. Let's get on board people.
Change of Heart
Great video. As a special education teacher in an alternative setting, I incorporate social skills and teachable moments on a daily basis. I think a curriculum of social/emotional learning standards would be awesome.

I really enjoyed the video
I really enjoyed the video on Social Emotional development. As a special education middle school teacher of students with behavior/social/emotional disabilities, I try to incorporate these skills in my daily lessons. I do think it would be extremely bennificial if our district adopted a curriculum that was used on a regular basis.
Teaching social and emotional skills
I really enjoyed the video. I think it is very important to include social and emotional education in the classroom. It is evident that our children experience so much at home and in the world. We must teach our children how to cope and overcome issues that can hender them from learning and growing. As a teacher, I think we see "Oh! Another program" we get discoaurage. But, we must keep in mind that we teach for the children. Our ultimate goal is to increase postive learning. You can teach a child so much more when you have gained their trust and support. I think it is well worth the effort.
Social-Emotional Video
I started my career in a school that valued and taught social and emotional skills and we had very few referrals. I now teach in a school that is the exact opposite- the bullying goes up every year, the students do not feel safe. I wish our district would adopt the policies and curriculum suggested in this video. I know it works.
