Overview
With an increasing need to incorporate social-emotional learning (SEL) into the classroom and a lack of SEL resources tailored to English language educators, TESOL has developed this 6-panel, laminated, compact, and easy-to-use zip guide. In this guide, English language educators will find information on the six fundamentals of social-emotional learning for English learners, practical applications for social-emotional language and literacy learning for English learners, strategies for English learners to flourish, and valuable tips and activities. The guide is organized by the six fundamentals of SEL, which are based on CASEL’s five competencies and TESOL’s 6 Principles for Exemplary Teaching of English Learners.Author Biography
