CASEL MONTHLY UPDATE

Educators across the country already recognize the importance of SEL, which was underscored by the challenges of the past year. So it is no surprise that policy leaders are including SEL in their “big ideas” for the next administration’s education agenda.

“Before covid we imagined the traumas that existed for our kids, since covid, we now know better how much we are needed to help kids address social and emotional shortcomings.” Teaching and caring for kids is more than books and buildings, its reaching into the hearts and minds of those we aim to serve.” -Dr. Gregory A. McCord, Superintendent Marlboro County School District
