Summary

Description

Integrating Prosocial Learning with Education Standards demonstrates how to meet educational standards that privilege cognitive aspects of learning while also advancing prosocial or Whole Child efforts (e.g., social emotional learning, character education, and mental health promotion). The book utilizes a growing body of research to reveal effective ways to implement a curriculum that integrates social, emotional, ethical, and civic aspects of learning with required state standards, and a wide range of "real world" examples describe how any school, anywhere, can lay a foundation for all young people to succeed.

Critic Reviews

“This insightful volume focuses on the critical challenge facing our educational system: how to develop supportive, engaging, and healthy schools and educators that successfully enhance the social, emotional, ethical, civic, and academic competence of all students. Fink, Cohen, Slade, and other field leaders brilliantly connect multiple perspectives and share research-based and practical strategies that powerfully educate students to become knowledgeable, responsible, caring, and contributing members of society. --Roger P. Weissberg, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Education, University of Illinois at Chicago”
