SEL and the Inquire Shared Foundation: Lesson Ideas with Picture Books - - 0 views

  •  
    "Have you ever thought that all learning is social and emotional learning (SEL)? This is something I recognize as an educator and as a learner. When teaching and learning new ideas, SEL is an essential part of the process. That's why you'll find social and emotional skills in state and national standards. SEL has many definitions with common ideas. At the core of SEL is noticing and regulating feelings and emotions to reach learning goals. SEL gives learners the skills they need to solve problems, work with others, and pursue interests."

THINKING PATHWAYS - Home - 0 views

  •  
    "To develop understanding of a topic or subject area, one has to experience and engage in Authentic Intellectual Activity. That means solving problems, making decisions, and developing new understanding using methods and tools (Ritchhart, Church & Morrison, 2011). Exploring a range of Thinking Pathways allows teachers and students to move beyond surface learning that focuses on the memorisation of knowledge and facts, to more deep and reflective learning that is focused on developing understanding through more active and constructive processes."
