In The Difference: Between Teaching Social Emotional Learning Skills and Kids Using Them, Ambrose Panico demystifies the gap between theoretical SEL teaching and its real-world application. As educators, we often struggle with the chasm between teaching social emotional learning skills and ensuring students effectively utilize them. Panico bridges this gap, providing a robust blueprint for fostering a caring classroom culture.
Dive into innovative strategies that encourage an inclusive social atmosphere, equipping kids to actively use their SEL skills in classroom situations, from navigating the everyday nuances of academic life to resolving conflicts. While many resources offer lesson plans, The Difference goes further, guiding educators in intentionally facilitating genuine SEL skill use.
Within the nurturing boundaries of this book, readers are called to challenge the ‘meanness’ our students face daily, championing civility and understanding. Rooted in the belief that students thrive in environments where they feel safe, so they can be brave, kind, and inclusive. The Difference provides the toolkit every teacher needs to make this vision a classroom reality.
