The Partnership for Children & Youth (PCY) recently released a few resources on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Finding Common Ground: Connecting Social-Emotional Learning During and Beyond the School Day provides language and strategies to support alignment between K-23 and expanded learning programs, by cross-walking key priorities and initiatives in California that impact SEL. A second resource from PCY on how to evaluate your SEL practices is Measuring Quality: Assessment Tools to Evaluate Your Social-Emotional Practices.  In addition to the SEL resources from PCY, EdSource released a commentary on the role of expanded learning programs in SEL. The article Summer and After-School Programs Can Promote Social and Emotional Learning focuses on the Common Core and Next Generation science standards that not only push traditional subjects but also the four C’s: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. These four skills are critical to student success by managing stress, ability to emphatize, and engage in small group work environments.
