This highly engaging, eminently practical book provides essential resources for implementing social and emotional learning (SEL) in any K-12 setting. Numerous vivid examples illustrate the nuts and bolts of this increasingly influential approach to supporting students' mental health, behavior, and academic performance. Helpful reproducibles are included. The authors offer clear-cut guidance on how to:


*Choose the right SEL program for a particular school.


*Teach SEL concepts to students, teachers, and administrators.


*Weave SEL into the classroom curriculum to boost academic success.


*Adapt interventions for culturally and linguistically diverse students and those with special needs.


*Monitor outcomes and maximize the quality of interventions.
